i might get one just to street race riced out civics at $100 a pop. lol. j/k. or am i?

that is a sweet machine, your lucky to own one.

I'm going to sound like a hypocrite and maybe I am, but I don't suggest racing on the street. I wouldn't even consider what we were doing racing, just that we let testosterone take control.

You don't need a Hayabusa to beat riced out civics. I don't even need to acknowledge them. Every time I've tried to do some show off move for someone, I've done something stupid and regretted it. The stretch of road we were on was about ten miles of a strait line with farmland on both sides of the road. We encounted one oncoming car in that ten mile and passed none.

Thanks for the "sweet machine" comment, you're right it is, and I realize it every time I ride it. It does bring a smile to my face.

I like your one vid where you pass your friend, then he passes you. "Oh no you don't!"

My webspace is about all used up so I have to only post small clips one at a time.

In this one, I was on a group ride, 4 hayabusa, 1 of them had just gotten his the day before and had no gear. He was way behind so I was riding slow in second gear after rounding a curve and waiting to see him before taking off. I hit the record button and hit it. Since it is just a digital cam taking videos, it eats batteries fast and the batteies quit just a few seconds into the video but it will give you a taste of the acceleration of a busa.

accelerating from second gear

WOW! That was cool. I counted about six seconds it took to go from around 50 to i think 140 if I saw your speedo correctly.
