I feel ya Shagz. I know what I know, and I know what I don't. Anymore, I am just so tired of stupid people telling me what they think they know, I just nod and say nothing. Ends the stupid conversation much quicker that way.

Everything is so situational. The only real way to discuss things like form and technique are at the track.... at the same track with people of similar or faster paces. On the street its useless.

yeah, its just amuses me....someone on one of the worst handling "sportbikes" telling someone who knows how to ride well...Shagz, don't let that go to your head, on one of the easiest to make handle well bikes out there, how to ride and stuff.  Just makes me not want to give advice to people anymore.

I have seen a couple folks that can handle that bike.... but its a handful, and not worth IMO.

Welcome to the hardheaded sport we reside in. Ego, and "big balls" lead the way, intelligence and education mean nothing to so many.

I always say, a good rider can ride anything well.....but a smart good rider chooses his bike wisely...a Busa aint it. LOL

"intelligence and education mean nothing to so many." Aint that the truth. 

100% agree - You have to love the feeling of hopping on damn near any bike and just riding the stank off the wheels. To be honest, I have enjoyed riding liter bikes lately. I can carry so much more cornerspeed through turns, with out a portion of the effort it took on the SV... the downside, I will die if I buy one.

Oh, not fair. Since Stranger has limited his posting here, and others have calmed down busting me, when have you seen a recent jab like that from me?? Haven't.

I know, Doug has been a good boy.

at least you know that much, ive come to that conclusion also as thats what is keeping me off those bikes (besides a test ride or two here and there).

After getting more miles on my bike after the Rally (since I went down there with pretty much a brand new bike, and 10 miles on the suspension) and fine tuning the suspension.... even that was beginning to scare me a little. It was so planted in turns that I couldn't get it going fast enough to make me scared.... thats an issue right there. I hopped on my buddies R1 and hit some roads.... doing the same turns triple digits... Exhilarating, and painfully easy.

" no truck"? Define this term for me please.

No problem/issues, I believe.

LOL @ Nudie for being quick on the trigger.

Yep... its how you get the good deals in the For Sale forum!!! ;D

Is you buddy with the busa taking it to a road corse?

He will have fun.

OMG he posts.

HA HA HA  Yes, I post again!  And I just might post again.

Granted I am not as fast as you guys.  But I am getting faster every year.  With a better suspension it is easier to take the curves I ride everyday faster.  But that is why I upgraded I don't want to be scared, but I see why you don't like that.  It gets you to feeling all safe and you could start to become lazy.  Next thing you know there is a guradrail in you grill.

Thats just it though.... where do you draw the line? Inherent risk continues to raise with speed.
