Not really, it's just the Suzy has so much power you get lots of wheel spin when you open up the throttle. I know guys who go through tyres in 1000 miles.

I knew the Busa had gobs of power and that kind of riding can be a blast under the right circumstances, and even though it makes sense, never thought about it like that. It has to have super soft compound tires so they get real sticky when they get hot. I thought it was alot to change my rear tire at 5000mi. That's only doing a real burnout when I'm on the way to change it. Otherwise it's less than that.

no burnouts = 3000 miles
burnouts = 1000 miles

Great pics Chip I can get air in first and a little if I throw second hard, but nothin after that. How's it feel to do a 100mph plus wheelie? Do you do it often? I think I remember yo saying your Busa is a 2000 released in 99 so it's not a de-tuned one, correct?

Well, you got half of that right, CJ. She is much the better half. Not to mention that Alngelina is a doll.
