(--GSXTacy @ Aug. 31 2006,01:01) I'm thinking we better ask the likes of Johnny Cheese and Quasar before "giving" away there livelihood. I like the idea, but there has to be some limits.
well, here we go with that question again...
first of all... JC and Q are not the only two sources of maps...nor are they the be all /end all of mapping.
I respect them both for their abilities...but JC will never go hungry because of this when everyone with any sense, knows a custom tune and engine work are the only ways to make the most of a Power Commander (and he does that very well).....and for quasar....at 75.00/map ....it's just fun money at best, although I can't say for sure what his occupation is.
I kind of see it like this...if you paid for that map....which they supplied...then you own it.
If I buy a book...and read it...then choose to give it to a freind, is that not my choice? Or should I destroy the book and never share the story? or a music Cd....
Another way...no 2 busas are the same! Most all of us are spread out all over the country... no too few maps are going to apply to all of us....I'' promiss you that living in FL...I wouldn't load a map wriiten for someone in Colorado at 8K feet.
Should we all email dynojet and object to the maps provided on their site as well?
I thought we all came here to share tips, experiences and know how.
By this logic...everyone that reads a "how to" thread needs to submit royalties to the writer of the thread.
I am going to be doing some tuning in the near future that I will be paying for locally...and you can bet my maps will be posted....why? because my map son't be 'specific' for anyone else...but it will be a good comparison to go by and help someone else develope their performance.
never on any other sites have I seen such a reluctance to share info as with Busa owners and their 'maps'.
That statement is NOT meant for all, as there are several that do help others with maps....and I am hoping they think along similar lines as I do.
for example...the R1
FORUMS...
I am sure the other bikes' forums have theirs too.
So as for 'giving away' anyone's 'livelihood'....
