  1. It was Cycle Gear in Madison, TN. I've been in there several times before and the other guys have been cool as can be. Maybe I just caught the guy having a rough day?
  2. Next time I'll unleash the pregnant wife. She wanted me to take her back so she could unleash hormonal fury.
  3. Maybe there is a different demographic buying Hayabusas than there is buying blackbirds. In the nine years I've been drooling over the Blackbird I've never seen a kid riding one. On the other hand, it seems every time I see a Busa it's doing burnouts with a 19 year old at the controls. Maybe the way it's being used has something to do with the reported transmission problems?
  4. I brought the wheel back to cycle gear and the manager said he would take a look at it. He called me back to the "room" and showed me that the machine said it was balanced. While it was spinning I could see from five feet away that it was not round so I pointed it out to him. He just gave me a look and said he didn't know what I wanted him to do about it. He reluctantly popped and reseated the bead and handed it back to me. When I asked him if we could put it back on the balancer and look at it before I took it home he became angry and kicked the door. I guess I was asking too much. It appeared round and it's smooth as silk now. I guess there's a little wiggle soom when seating the bead? What ever happened to treating customers with respect?
  5. I checked the direction before I walked out with it. I don't trust people anymore. I guess the front wheel is coming back off. Shit.
  6. I just checked the pressure it's about 38PSI. Maybe I should just put a few more miles on it before I start freaking out. I really don't feel like pulling the wheel off again just to make sure the kid balanced it right. I'll say one thing, besides the shake, the pilot feels so much better than the diablo.
  7. My front tire(Diablo) was toast so I went to cyclegear yesterday and had a Pilot Power put on. I was only able to go for a twenty minute ride after I got the wheel back on but now there is a vertical vibration at 45mph. I can see my headlight bouncing when I'm behind a car. The tire has a couple of thin rubber strips that run across the tire. Could they be causing the problem? BTW I've got a 190 Diablo on the rear, but it still looks good. Anybody else experience this problem?
