Mike can attest to the fact that with good tires and braded lines a busa will stoopie.

Erik, the busa looks ok now, but with the clear lenses, breaded steel lines, new fork springs, new pegs, frame sliders, raising links, top triple from the 02, and the +3 rear sprocket, it will look better, and function more like I want it to. All I am waiting on is the frame sliders, pegs, and sprocket, all from Lockhart, so who knows when they will get here, but as soon as they do the first phase of the 04 transformation will be complete, and ready to push it to the limits. This year it is knee pucks and foot pegs all the way.

And the question EVERYONE will ask... How long can you keep it pretty? I think a poll is almost in order for that one. Current plans include a few small changes, then a trip to Daytona, and then it's probably going to be for sale. (Because I would hate to a pretty bike)

Why don't you just trade with Ryan. That way you know for sure you won't hurt the pretty one.

That bike is way too nice for you, go drop it in the driveway or something.

Once I get back from Break, I'll have some fiddy stunting in Ron's house, and some pictures of his dog going ape-**** over a balloon on her head(did I mention the dog had 3 beers and some margeritta's)

Other than that, I' probably won't be posting much these 3 weeks being at home. I'm going to start on my painting project tomorrow, well the sanding part of it..... I'll get pic's, laterz

I'm with Erik, go kick it over now and get it out of the way, Mike.

It looks good though, try to keep it that way.
