  Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from rapidly spinning black hole-torus systems
may represent hypernovae or black hole-neutron star coalescence. We show that
the torus may radiate gravitational radiation powered by the spin-energy of the
black hole in the presence of non-axisymmetries. The coupling to the
spin-energy of the black hole is due to equivalence in poloidal topology to
pulsar magnetospheres. Results calculated in the suspended accretion state
indicate that GRBs are potentially the most powerful LIGO/VIRGO burst-sources
in the Universe, with an expected duration of 10-15s on a horizontal branch of
1-2kHz in the $\dot{f}(f)-$diagram.
