     Jonesy most of Petes clutter ended up at my place,i am slowly sorting through it and i will be advertising some of it on here soon,i don't think the shed in the pictures is Petes.The Busa looks pretty neat i have been fighting off the urge to buy one myself,so far i am winning but who knows!!

geoff, the zx14 is a very nice bike, i think theyre
ahead of the bsa atm, but both are  beautiful bikes,

jonesy,  i was hoping not to have to do to much with it,
going to take it to a shop for a tune,  ecu flash, dyno and service,
then ill service the bike from there, the guy i bought it from was an old
mechanic in the day and did all his own work on the bike.

phil, ull have no problems keeping up with me in the twisties atm,  lol
once all this weather clears up, bring ur bike over and ill suss it out
for u.

Holy shoot
a quantum leap in power and technology, dont know how much work you could do on it yourself.....but then again your not likely to have to do much more than a basic service ay.

Hey Pete, very nice looking machine mate. It oozes power just sitting there, don't like the chances of the XS keeping up with you now  :o

hey guys,
picked up the hayabusa last week
from port macquaire,
its a beautiful bike to ride, plenty of power,
but very ridable, and goes around corners like its on rails.
it took a little to get used to the higher pedal position and
leaning over the tank, about half way home my butt was
aching like it would on the xs but after a cpl of leg stretches
while riding  the soreness went away unlike the xs  lol
i was expecting sore wrists but that never happened, after riding
for more than 4 hrs i felt a bit tight between the shoulders but
nothing to drastic, i was very surprised how comfortable the ride
was.
heres some pics of the bike,
