Trouble in paradise
Mon 21 Jan 2008Filed Under: *Hayabusa BLOG | Comments Off on Trouble in paradise
Many motorcycle reviews are general in nature they do not cover the issues which annoy owners. That is fair enough since the audience is more than likely not concerned with handling nuances with say 38 psi in the tyres versus 42 psi.
That’s where I like to differ – IF I find something that is generally not known about the Hayabusa I will also put it up. For example the exhaust tips do change color and the missing fuel consumption computer. Including the shocker and clearly politically incorrect but obvious to anyone who’s taken the Hayabusa on the track – it is faster than the original after 200kph – easily.

Out of interest I checked out the SPAM box on my old email addresses that I clearly don’t use and saw that many – I can’t believe it. Anyway if you’re still using the old email addresses pls don’t! I won’t be using it anymore – obviously.
The best motorcycle riders

I’m actually quite excited at the prospect of doing updates on this site. The main reason is that I am free to talk about aspects of motorcycle ownership in general rather than restricted to Hayabusa only commentary that I feel the other other site should stay focused on.
So this week I must remind all motorcycle owners to get their U-turn practice up to date. This week I watched as a police motorcycle rider attempt to do a U-turn to catch a speeding driver going the other way. Now you’d expect our cops to be really good riders since they send a lot of time riding. The one I watched was not very good since he need the entire width of the 2 lane highway to do a u-turn. He wasn’t going very fast either and was NOT confident especially considering he was stopped at the time. I was quite disappointed.
Speaking of which the best motorcycle riders in general I reckon are the Australia Post guys. The ones I’ve seen are really good considering the low powered bikes use (Honda CT110). Postie Bikes They really know how to ride those things.
