We had a wonderful day for some riding yesterday and decided to snap some pics.

on a local forum, my buddy made a joke about going "zebra hunting" on his busa so we had to take a wildlife pic.

as of right now, the bike only has a handful of mods:
vortex clipons
different switches so everything would fit with the coffin style reservoirs
tail chop
"buell" taillight with the clear bottom
k&n pod filters
wire "tuck" and removed gauges with the board hidden under the tank
removed mufflers
removed emissions
headlight was lowered but without the gauges it looked funny so the brackets are flipped to raise it back up
the obvious paintjob

that was taken inside what used to be a warehouse right across the train tracks from a buddys house, and all the ones other than the tux shop ones are within walking/pushing distance.  they are all at the local train depot in tyler.  we take lots of pics in that ares because its got lots of old abandoned buildings.  and thanks for the compliments.

ive heard that someone say that before last time i posted the pics.  i cant say i did mine first, and i cant say he beat me to it, but i will say that it was done way before i found the old forum.  i did mine back in late 05, and didnt find the forum until july 4th weekend in 06.

i forgot to mention it in the first post but im not the one that took the pics.  they (most of them) were taken by a friend of mine.

I'd be careful riding that bike in the country. 

Seems every year during Deer season someone shoots a cow by mistake .

When I used to hear guys say they liked to take a case of beer w, them when they went hunting I knew it was time to make sure I was no where near where they were going .   

Very neat looking bike , very ballsy !   Dolph        :)

Holy Sh!t, .... it's a zebra!

Need a tiger/lion bike in the brush instead though.

thanks for the compliments guys.

double eagle, for some reason, everyone i know says they could NEVER ride a bike with this paintjob, but if i even hint at changing it up people freak out and tell me i can never get rid of the stripes. 

right after i painted it, i met people that ride from the next town over (about 30-45 minutes away) that have heard about my bike but never seen it and ive never been over there on it.  its borderline creepy sometimes.

darkstar, we used the busa because its the "king of the road" as far as drag racing, just like a lion on the african plains.
