Yes yes wheelie has gone to the dark side ..... Hey we all need a change from time to time ... Thats why i got a new zx10 .....Wheelie also needed a change so he picked up a new 08 busa ... I was also thinking of getting a new Busa but the looks of the bike and that i have seen more than a few at the track not going any faster than a zx14 made me try a new liter bike in hopes of going faster than my zx14 ..
Change is a good thing in my book and i wish wheelie all the luck in the world with his new bike ...I hope he hangs around bikeland and doesn't become a stranger ....

Too bad it's not going to be stock when i get back to texas. I would have liked to do a couple of roll ons when you come to the fish fry  . Oh well... i guess that you'll just have to do the whole unfair advantage thing .

I thought that I was looney or something. I knew that wheelie had a 14 from past pics. Hey wheelie I'm the guy that met you at the track in Kennedale. Black young guy that the other guy (can't remember his name) walked up and told you about in the back of the burnout box. Both of you were nice guys.
By the way, the other guy told me that he was selling his 06-07 zx10r. I know a friend thats looking to probably get it from him. Wheelie could you pass the message for me. Thanks. To help out if ou don't remember, he has or had like 6 bikes this past year and lets everyone know that he will not let anyone but hisself ride one. lol real cool guy.
Thanks

How many clutch issues did you have with the 14?
Seriously, does the looks of the bike do it for you or is it simply a track weapon?

I went and looked at Busa.
Nice... But no faster than I have.
The concept... How does it look... The finish... Those are the things I look for now...
As much as people bitched about the GF grills. I liked them.
I have owned a Yamaha, Susuki, and a few Kaw... I prefer the Kaw over the others.
It seems they are right back on their game. Back on top...
Being they have the hottest drag racer heading their flag ship. In case you do not know Rickey G.
Just my 2 cents.

I love my kawi but wish that i could have a new busa as well. The one that i got to ride felt like it would have been a little more nible than my ninja. You also have the Lore of the busa. It is the bike that started the hyperbike scene and ruled it until the 14 came out. Bikes are bikes as long as they're fast and they're not honda lol.

I think the ZX-11 and then the Honda Blackbird started the hyper-bike trend and then the Busa obliterated the competition.

HEy wheelie, Naw it wasn't the youn guy. He was an older guy. he rides a 07/08 gsxr 1000 yellow/grey extended and lowered with a ti-force I beleive. he's about 5'8" and always says that hell crush his bike before he lets anyone ride it. He had like 6 street bikes last year. I believe he is from the north east somewhere. He came up to you right before we spoke that night about the kaw 14 getting stuck in 4th.
By the way how did you do sunday?
