Well to be honest I am feeling you. The BMW has rekindled riding for fun though. I go out and play and I'm very safe and don't have to dodge cops all day. I love the Busa but it just seems like the world is passing her by. I can't understand Suzuki not doing the minimum to keep the legend going a little bit longer, but they have clearly thrown in the towel.
I saw a new Wing the other day and it is a whole different bike than the previous one for sure.
It's DCT transmission is an engineering benchmark. I think it will be the new standard for motorcycles. Its like a paddle shifting transmission for motorcycles now. You can shift manually or let if figure out when to shift.
I have a quick shifter now and it gets addictive...
Would be funny if you reported this thread,All you Busa ship jumpin' bastids. This is blasphemy.
Consider yourselves all off the my Christmas card list...permanently.

Granted but they load the next gear and when its time to shift its a continual progression of rapid gear changes. It looks like you never have to unload the engine like you do a single clutch setup. You just move power into or out of the transmission by the right wrist. Its the best of both worlds. No more clutching in traffic. No more gear hunting in changing situations.
Done. Funny you mention reporting fallen my brother...I just 20 minutes ago reported my own thread..."Trying to get ahold of Captain" thing.Would be funny if you reported this thread,
I don't know what happened to your other thread Rubb. That thread was yours. I posted on it this morning. Then it was gone. If you took it down, that's your prerogative. I got nothing sent to me like a warning or a rule violation, so I just assumed you didn't like the seriousness of the topic matter. It doesn't matter to me if you took it down. But don't come here causin no trouble ya bastid. :-)All you Busa ship jumpin' bastids. This is blasphemy.

I test rode the GW and it is a very, very nice bike. That transmission is awesome and I would be cool with it on any bike. The GW is a much better bike that my K1600 was. I think the Africa has one on it too, but I haven't ridden that Honda.
Twas not me,me bruvah. My SuperPower Admin priviledges were revoked years ago. I was bad.
I don't think members can delete even their own threads. I thought the thread was OK...no issues for me. The only thing I will miss about that thread was my picture of the rich racial diversity of the great city of Seattle. 
,Black,White & Yellow. All of the "Food Groups" were well represented I thought. O'well...such as life.
Yeah I can see why they revoke your butt. #MeToo folks will be on your butt by day's end now.Twas not me,me bruvah. My SuperPower Admin priviledges were revoked years ago. I was bad.

. NASCAR lost me not because of any of the things you stated, but because of their rule changes. I liked when the cars were based on real stock cars, not one part on the cars today can be found in a dealership.
Yes those days of race on Sunday sell on Monday were crazy times. I talked to a couple NASCAR guys about that and they said that as cars were getting smaller and more fuel efficient they became less and less raceable even when they were modified. It got to the point that you couldn't even modify those dogs to go fast. Also, going around a super speedway at 200 mph (safely) for 500 miles is just out of the performance of almost any stock based car. At some point they said are we going to change every part in a stock car so it's really a different car anyway or build a purpose built car that can really put on a show?
