last ride of the year

i pulled the busa out for a spin christmas eve figuring it might be the last ride of the year due to the snowmagedon weekend forecast: we barely got a dusting here in dc. but, with 29 mph sustained winds and gusts @ 50mph right now and thru this week, i probably wont be back on for a couple of weeks at least...cant wait for daytona.

hell hath no fury like this f-ing winter!

we got 30 inches  of snow last weekend during the 2010 blizzard, phase 1. i had to dig trails for the dog so he could take a piss. now its snowing again with 10-20 inches expected...and the 50 mile per hour winds make me glad i put the busa in the trailer with the harley...unless the roof caves in. i live in dc not in colorado: this is ridiculous.

2002 hayabusa carbon fiber fender swap out

i was working on my post re: rams cycle installing my new black/charcoal houndstooth carbon fiber fender on the hayabusa, when i looked at the 'before' shot with the brushed aluminum fender...wow: not sure the darker one is the answer, design-wise. it kind of makes the front end of the hayabusa dissappear into oblivion. may have to get it painted to match the lighter colors. the carbon fiber is a performance upgrade, but i think the solid, consistant color gives the bike a more solid, armor-like look.
