Hayabusa for Three

Cute, I wish I had a Hayabusa alone... never mind the trike
Trike Hayabusa   Yes, a high-speed motorcycle for three, and that's not only three people, but also three wheels ! Nick Dagostino converted his Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle into a trike, but not a conventional trike. The two rear wheels are behind each other (in-line) instead of next to each other. This way he can still use the Hayabusa's aerodynamics to obtain many speeding tickets.

On top of the three wheels, he also fitted an electronic camera in the rear and a 5" TV monitor into the tank.

Now, he has place to put two pillion passengers behind him on the motorcycle.

    Seems to be a bit of a waste of a Hayabusa...I mean, why do you need two wheels in the rear. Just looks lame to me, but hey, to each his own right? If it floats your boat go for it. Just my two cents...

    I own a busa and I would rather have the girl than the 3 wheeled one.

    I would imagine the real benefit would be to drastically reduce the unintentional wheel stands under hard acceleration. Just like the Busa guys slamming their bikes to the ground and putting on an extended swing-arm to combat this problem, but this would have a far greater impact. AND If both rear tires are driven, you would also have twice the contact patch for traction. A very interesting concept indeed.

    I have a question about handling. I understand the wheelie factor and extra contact for traction, but how does it handle cornering with the extra wheel in contact with the ground?

    the third wheel makes a perfect wheelie bar so you can punch it full throttle and not worry about flipping it

    Of course, only the centre wheel is driven – the rear wheel is fitted with a dummy sprocket with its teeth machined off. For now, Dagostino says driving both rear wheels would be too complex, though even that might happen in the future.

For prices and features, please go to Prices in India of New Kindles 3G+WiFi and WiFi editions Original Post: My wife decided that she needed to gift me a Kindle for our anniversary. I asked a colleague, if her husband (who was traveling to the US) could carry back one. He couldn't, because of an erratic travel schedule. So we decided to order one right here directly since Amazon was kind enough to open up direct shipping to India. So we ordered on a Tuesday evening (India Time) and Amazon being Amazon shipped the device straight away on the same day itself. I very eagerly tracked the package using the DHL sites (yes, I used three different DHL sites, US, UK and India. They give different info when the package is in that respective country) and in three days flat it was here across the seven seas at Delhi airport. Only I was in Noida which is an interstate delivery for DHL. Which meant that I had to fill out an ar...

Meta-Prompting: Why AI Should Write Your System Prompts

I was wrestling with creating a series of seven engagement emails for a client—carefully crafted messages that demonstrated a new concept in email marketing. Each email needed specific components: client positioning, footer elements, engagement currency, and brand alignment. After hours of iteration, I finally had a complete seven-email series that worked. But then I faced the real challenge: how could I replicate this entire sequence for other clients efficiently? More importantly, how could I enable other team members to create these sophisticated email sequences without going through the same lengthy development process? Instead of trying to write a system prompt myself, I asked Gemini in AI Studio to help me create one. Through our collaborative conversation, we developed an interactive agent that was far more sophisticated than anything I could have written manually. The resulting system prompt was extraordinarily detailed—it included exact conversation flows, technical HTML speci...
