Rich were taking about a bike that's completely stock and not designed to take and abuse like that....it would have to be converted to a chain drive first of all...popping the clutch on a real sticky drag strip with a proper drag tire...the bike will spit out that belt....100 % positive.

So do you not trust the bike enough to ride it 120 miles without an issue?

Got to finish digging that trench...go fuck yourself...lol.

Beleive it or not...here their isn't anything for bike recovery...the twat will most likely drag it up on a flat bed and winch it down with steel cables...

Anyway this would be summer of 05...removed those cat converters...all that anti pollution crap....it pretty well took me the entire summer to figure out everything...to make it run properly again...back in those days ..it wasn't like you could find a video on YouTube... After Countless hours spent on orange crush mostly...diging through forums ...I finally figured it out....jetting and stuff canister removal..all that crap...

Yes I ride it there and back, if something breaks then I get it recovered by my recovery, but I trust it enough to know it probably won't break

Seriously do you ride it there ? What if something breaks?

They are labour intensive bikes to service but once you know your way around them they are fine to work on .

After having it properly broken in..lol....50 km from the showroom floor on the return ride home...some twat on a sport bike pulled up next to me with a 600 cc something bike...I had to show him what the bike was capable of doing...I pined the throttle and brought up the speed to 215 kph...lol....

And santa pod from mine its 74 miles.... so what does that tell us? 1. He can't ride 120 miles in a day because he's scared the bike will breakdown. 2. He can't go to the drag strip incase his belt snaps because he is a gammon with the clutch. 3. He is too scared of being shown up. So what have we learnt here well...one thing that Marcel can talk the talk but can't walk the walk.

Suppose I'll start from page one. It's and 04 adventure S , at the time of purchase , it was a 2 year production bike made I think..maybe they were sold overseas in your side of the pond has and 03 ...not sure...but at the time , here in Canada, there was only 1 authorized dealer..in Montreal...1000 km away.

I had a real hard time putting it up for sale at the time...but after the 1290 purchase..I found it just to ridiculous of owning 3 bikes and to maintenance them all...what I should have done is to never buy that 1290...useless bike for my needs...

you seen this shit @busabeast he won’t take it to the drag strip … cause it’s 60 miles away … pathetic

Make the numbers up. Had to nip to Colchester first thing this morn but could see anything on the way to snap a pic. Was almost back home so ended with this.

So sell it to someone who won't ride it, sounds like a plan.

Could you just time it with the video yourself...? With a clear view of the odo and tac meter ? Im not taking that thing to and actual drag strip you twat....got better things to do...drag strip is over 60 miles away...I'd have to trailer the thing..what if I snap the drive belt or something...how do you expect me to ride back...

Just thought I'd let you know what kinda of repairs I've done to the thing over the years to keep it in pristine mint condition... Out of the 20 some years of ownership, I did sell it locally to a fellow , he road it for one summer, and after having it taken to motorcycle repair shop for a simple oil change and they couldn't figure out how to do it..most likely it was to labour intensive for them to mess with , and having the fuel pump fail..he gave up on it...luckily the bike wasn't trashed and I required it again...

You need it timed you fucking twat , how many more times .

Im just saying with your lack of experience running the busa..out of 3 pulls...if you manage to fuck up the launch...wich you certainly would ....I have certainly a good chance of beating in one of the 3 pulls....end of story...lol....I can definitely beat a 13 second run... My 7000lbs truck will run 13 seconds ffs...lol.

You would run a 120

Id have to roll off at half distance to pull a 13s pass

so what you're saying is you need me to slow down for you to win or indeed keep up? so there w e have it Marcel has just admitted he'd have zero chance of winning everyone unless i slowed down

Im going shopping for a phone mount this morning...to settle this finally..

Ah !! Ah!!! There we have the proof..... Would you agree I'd have a chance if you pulled a 13 second run..?
