Just how savage is a Busa at full throttle, by all accounts they sound almost unridable. :) -- Gavin. GSXR600K1 Twitter: http://twitter.com/gavin_wilby Blog: http://www.stoof.co.uk

Like some kind of genius I seem to have booked the thou in to have its clutch sorted again [1] over the bank holiday weekend [2]. And the RGV's untaxed, unMOTed and possibly missing coolant. Bum. Bum bum bum bum bum. [1] Having told them it was fucked and slipped under load in the top half of the rev range, when it was in for a service they decided it was just badly adjusted. And then after calling me to tell me it was ready, and while I was making the hour and a bit journey down to collect it, they took it for a test ride and found that, hey, guess what, it's fucked and slips under load in the top half of the rev range. Gah! [2] Apparently they can't just get a set of plates and do the replacement on that model, they have to take them out, measure them, order specific replacements. Three elapsed days. Gah! Gah! -- ogden | gsxr1000 | rgv250
