Wicked Street Bike
“Moderation in all things” would suggest, perhaps, I should choose Mode B. My resolution to uphold that credo lasted all of about five minutes as we picked our way through traffic to the open highway. As soon as we made the turn onto the freeway onramp the little devil screamed, “Mode A! Full Power! You know you want it!” From then on the S-DMS selector was set for full tilt boogie. Even so, the power delivery is controlled and smooth, almost easy to handle. However, unwitting newbies will find themselves arriving at the scene of their next ticket or accident in short order if they are misled by the Hayabusa’s seemingly linear power delivery. There is so much on tap and the Busa goes so willingly and without fuss that before you realize it you’ve entered the realm of serious consequences. Even when I thought I was being judicious with the right grip, I often found myself traveling 20mph faster than I thought I was. Sometimes even more, like, much more.
The bubble behind the windscreen is so quiet that once again it is not difficult to match the speed of the bird for which the Hayabusa was named. This is not an admission of any particular behavior… I’m just saying it is possible.
The braking performance from the Monoblocs is much improved, but I was expecting more. It’s not night and day, but it is better. More bite is available initially, and the stopping power is amplified. But the feel becomes wooden when you really lean on the front binders. This could be due to the fact the master cylinder and rubber lines were not upgraded to support the Brembo calipers. Only hardcore canyon carvers are going to have any criticism.
A custom motorcycle is a motorcycle with stylistic and/or structural changes to the 'standard' mass-produced machine offered by major manufacturers. Custom motorcycles might be unique, or built in limited quantities. While individual motorcyclists have altered the appearance of their machines since the very first days of motorcycling, the first individualized motorcycles specifically labeled 'Custom' appeared in the late 1950s, around the same time as the term was applied to custom cars. In the 1960s, custom artisans like Arlen Ness and Ben Hardy created new styles of custom bikes, the chopper. In the 1990s and early 2000s, very expensive customs such as those built by Orange County Choppers, Jesse James's West Coast Choppers,[1] Roger Goldammer became fashionable status symbols. There are also companies that are bringing back pin striping, such as Kenny Howard (also known as Von Dutch) and Dean Jeffries from the 1950s, with a continued effort to keep pin striping alive. The choppers of the 1960s and 1970s fit into this category.Some motorcycle manufacturers, such as Harley-Davidson and Honda, include the word "custom" as part of a model name. The factory custom segment has become the most visible in the custom industry in recent years.
A Human Hamster Wheel is any exercise device used by humans that simulates a strenuous activity. The human mounts the device and peddles, strides, rows or pumps their way to nowhere like a hamster on a wheel. The stair-master is the most obvious example of a human hamster wheel. Exercise bikes, rowing machines and abdominal rollers are also good examples. Humans all over the planet can be seen in 24 hour gyms, at ungodly hours of the night, sweating away on their human hamster wheels, as if in a trance.
