What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

- Start date
It’s easy to stay young when you consume the souls of others.

Does she ever ride with you? The wife and I looked a few bikes for her this morning we will pull the trigger for her after the new year I’m thinking

Put new tire on, washed bike, cleaned and lubed chain, went for a short ride and filled up the tank. It didn’t rain at the house but apparently had a few miles from the house so roads were wet. New tire +wet roads= take it easy lol. Didn’t get any good pics but snapped a few in poor lighting

I think the only thing the clu
She used to ride with me and then one time she freaked out on the freeway and didn't ride anymore until a few months ago on my old FJR. She won't ride on my Busa. She thought about getting a scooter but changed her mind.

Yeah if she’s not ready she’s not ready, i agree with you i wouldn’t force the issue
Just the same ol same ol, about a 175 miler today in the foothills including the Golden Chain hiway. It’s not actually as fun as it looks. Mostly short straights and dozens of tight (tight) corners, some with a bit of gravel to avoid. Nice coolish day though, in the mid 60s and breezy. When I could I ran in triple digits for a lot of miles netting me just 37 mpg. No pics from those stretches as they’re just long straights. Lots of bikes out and a few hot rods, a 23 T bucket, a 56 Nomad, a 46 Ford and even a pristine Nash Metropolitan! 
Followed the T bucket for a bit climbing hiway 49 and after every corner he gassed it coming out.
Had huge rear tires and chrome headers leading into side pipes. Sounded very nice. Followed a Harley trike for a second too. He looked like it was a real handful on those corners. Found a quiet place for a break too, very quiet.
Yes, that’s a bridge down there and after those corners it’s a relief to be able to hammer it into triple digits. Doesn't last long though.

Very nice that's quite the place to take a break...Just the same ol same ol, about a 175 miler today in the foothills including the Golden Chain hiway. It’s not actually as fun as it looks.

This is a distance shot with my scribble in case you can’t see where the road is. Some of it is out of sight behind the hills.
Grrrrrr and double Grrrrrrr!!!!!
I set out to change my Puig double bubble to a stock wind screen and low and behold part of the fairing broke off....the part by the bolt hole which holds on the windscreen...it must have been cracked as it took nothing to snap it.
Thankfully, I have a spare upper fairing...….it will be a winter project to change it however....
Does anyone have a better way of fastening that danged windscreen other than having to pull that stupid rubber piece through it?????

This is the powerbronze windscreen, I use the exact same, good guality, and very good wind protection.

Oh man, that’s a shame. The first time I had the front tire replaced the shop used the wrong stand and gouged the upper part of the nose which they replaced. I’ve never had it off since and I have the original screen still. When I had the valves run I supplied the shop with new bolts for the screen which were loose and they replaced them all. I’ve been lucky I think. When I installed 1” Delrin mirror spacers I took special care tightening the bolts. Are the screen attachments different between gen1s and 2s?
Honestly not sure if they are different..
Thankfully I have another upper fairing, now I will just have to strip it all and put the other one on.
As soon as I took off the allen bolt and wiggled the rubber piece holding the windscreen on, the piece cracked..
Always something it seems-the worst part is I decided to change it and was in the middle when my buddy called and wanted to go for a ride...
As it was a beautiful day (and we are quickly running out of those)-I couldn't say no even though I was grumpy my baby was broken...
