Getting out of hand, this war on speeding.
Fools crash at any speed, look at me - 0Kph!
They really need to stop protecting us from ourselves, it weakens us.

This is now just a rhetorical question for me as I kissed mine goodbye yesterday.
And yes I know the easy answer is don't ride on the road, or just follow the rules, but thats easier said than done.
Well mate riding a Hayabusa like carrying a .357 Magnum, when you pull trigger you gotta ask your self, do you feel lucky.......

Well I know I have had enough of this war on speeding & hooning. So a little research was in order, based on an old email from around 2001. The e-mail basically stated a
would save more lives by sticking his finger up the rectum 
of every male he pulled over & checking you for prostate cancer than booking you for speeding. Based on this, my research has approx 1259 people (male & female) died in road/vehicle accidents last year, meanwhile, 3300+ males died of prostate cancer & a similar number of women died from breast cancer. 1259 deaths vs 6600, so the goverment solution to life threatening problems is to look the otherway, brainwash the sheep & keep rolling in the easy revenue.
I am going to start putting these facts in the local paper when the sheep start bleating about people overtaking them as the meander down the f*&king road with there camera phones @ the ready
to get footage of people overtaking them when they are clearly already all most doing the speed limit.BTW: Qld is set to get new anti-hooning laws where first offence (this can inc excessive speed) has 3 months disqualification & lose of vehicle, 2nd offence within 5 yrs is complete forfeit of vehicle to be crushed or sold for more cash back to the government.
Rant over - for now, gotta get back to work.

Do your time and get on with it, we can all be perfect in hind sight. You show a good heart, later down the track, no pun intended, I'm sure there's plenty of ways to blast of a bit steam in a safe way. All the best.
Great roads to ride on in the hinterland up here but so many coppers, it's all over now baby.
I would like to mount the following conditional arguments in my defence:
1. The road should not have been zoned as 60 kph, it was far more rural than residential.
2. I was only doing 97 kph as I passed a truck I had been stuck behind.
3. I was only doing 97 kph for a few seconds and decreased my speed to zero in a a couple more after I was flashed.
4. Yes I did pass on double lines but I got a busa, I could passed it twice in saftey.
But in the end I must acknowledge:
1. Im stupid, I knew I was gonna loose it but didn't change my behaviour.
2. Im selfish, I like going fast and the longer I go without speed the more I want it.
3. Im dangerous, I didn't consider for anybody's safety, including my own.

I believe the gov should lower the points system on some fine as this would keep us riders on the road longer to keep paying the road tax/ fines, we all know this is about making money.

I am 5'5" and I want to buy a Suzuki Hayabusa. I do not know how tall I am supposed to be in order to ride a Hayabusa. If you know how tall I need to be or if you know of a website where I can get more info on this, please let me know. Thanks

5'5" should just about cut it although you might be tippy toeing it a little.
Depends on how big your balls are as they need to be sizable to ride a busa (ladies excluded of course)
i am 6'2" and can stand flat footed on the bike with a good 3 inches of space under my bum.
bike is stock so you could be ok at 5'5"
I ride with a mate on his genI and he is around your height, has no issues with the bike at his height.
hope this helps.
