last ride of the year

i pulled the busa out for a spin christmas eve figuring it might be the last ride of the year due to the snowmagedon weekend forecast: we barely got a dusting here in dc. but, with 29 mph sustained winds and gusts @ 50mph right now and thru this week, i probably wont be back on for a couple of weeks at least...cant wait for daytona.

epic fail in california

as i reported yesterday, im having a little work done on my beautiful busa... as reported in today's ama blog, california aims to stop future enhancment projects: specifically anything-but stock exhaust systems! what? riders from cali should make their opinion known...asap!

hayabusa evolution

the new busa is at its shop getting some adjustments...new exhaust system...frame sliders...rear end dropped 2"...front end lowered 3/4 of an inch...i think an air shifter is next.

alien head

my new busa is great but a little quiet.
so i picked out brock's alien head

exhaust to make it right: sounds nice!

2009 kawasaki hayabusa

the new bike is here. i drove to bum fuchn egypt, virginia to pick up my new badass 2009 busa. dont tell anyone, though:

i would like to keep this one for a while.

new busa

decided on a 2009 silver hayabusa sold locally...cant wait to pick it up!

hell hath no fury like this f-ing winter!

we got 30 inches  of snow last weekend during the 2010 blizzard, phase 1. i had to dig trails for the dog so he could take a piss. now its snowing again with 10-20 inches expected...and the 50 mile per hour winds make me glad i put the busa in the trailer with the harley...unless the roof caves in. i live in dc not in colorado: this is ridiculous.

winter riding

Saturday was sunny so I took a ride on the busa. it was really cold. I did not see the rain coming on Sunday.

2002 hayabusa carbon fiber fender swap out

i was working on my post re: rams cycle installing my new black/charcoal houndstooth carbon fiber fender on the hayabusa, when i looked at the 'before' shot with the brushed aluminum fender...wow: not sure the darker one is the answer, design-wise. it kind of makes the front end of the hayabusa dissappear into oblivion. may have to get it painted to match the lighter colors. the carbon fiber is a performance upgrade, but i think the solid, consistant color gives the bike a more solid, armor-like look.

new fender for the busa

dropped the busa off at ram cycle for them to install the new fender...only took a few minutes and it looks sweet!

drag exhaust system

looking to upgrade a few things on the new busa...i like this sidewinder 4-2-1 drag exhaust system from roaring toyz.

2002 gsx-r 1300 suzuki hayabusa
