you might want to try barry at velocity racing.He has a blue that has been set up for the strip and should have everything you need if he hasn't sold it.He changed the skins and most everything else.Good luck.

Chelle, if you need help working on it, let me know. I ain't too far away. Only a couplefew hours. Also, if you need parts from a first gen, I might have some lying around.

I appreciate it everyone...honestly, this place is the best...I've got everything in motion right now. We're waiting on a credit card to cover all of this; really caught us off guard financially and today felt like the first day of my nervous breakdown with Mike laid up in pain, yet another bout of some stomach virus with my son and me stuck at work. Actually, being at work is the GOOD part LOL

Thanks for the offers of help everyone...Ben, I'm actually looking forward to tearing down an '08 Busa...pretty sure I'll be doing most of the work, but that's down time for me, even if it's not my own bike

Covered under warranty ; right; right. Glad Mike's alright. You're Uncle put him in the ER, right

My uncle was good through this all...even giving me hugs because he could see I was just in shock and upset over it all...

I will be putting Mike BACK in the ER once he's healed up...that's to make me feel better...I think it'll work

What a bummer.Could have been worse. "friends dont let friends, drive their Busas". I wont let anyone ride mine. hard lesson.

Hard lesson that he hasn't learned yet LOL This is the second bike he's dropped that wasn't his...

Thanks to Hal for hooking me up with the foot peg...

And I'm working with Chef on some parts he may be parting with from his '08, as well as huge thanks to Kevin (vman) for taking the time to get prices on the OEM parts needed; he's working with me as I type...

I don't know what I'd do without the gang here most days...honestly...I'm just thankful to have the network that we have here...

Does anyone have concrete evidence on that stator cover? It looked different than my stock one on the '03, so I'm thinking I need to get OEM for an '08 to replace the scuffed one...

Yet again, other places I can help. See, he heals, next thing he knows, he has a fat man sitting on him... Instant ER trip!


Honestly though, glad to hear he's ok, and wasn't any more damage done. Mikes a tough one, he probably did a cool little roll like the incident with the Camaro.

Alas, I didn't get to see the "cool little roll" in the mountains, and thankfully I was just standing around my Dad's yard this go 'round thinking "wow, that's a nice new trailer my uncle has to haul the Busa in"...oblivious to the fact that Mike was flailing down the road rashing up a new bike

Oblivion is good...

Didn't he tear up one with 4 wheels last year?

 

[bigmac0331]

Glad he is doing well...I threw up a little in my mouth when i saw those pics...But like it was said before...the bike can be replaced...

 

[VaBusa]

Correction - TWO...

He rolled his Miata in February, totaled it, and this was just a month or so AFTER he'd just put a new motor in it...

He rear-ended a truck in his new Mustang...wasn't free to fix...

Last week he was pulled by a cop and the cop's first words were "hey, you're my first reckless of the day!" Thankfully, the guy reduced it by 1 mph, so 19 over, yet still falls under VA's new civil remedial fee program = we pay the DMV $350/year for the next 3 years on top of the court costs and fine...

I threw up enough for both of us given that it's not our bike

Everything will be just fine...this too shall pass
