On all the other boards I am on I am used to doing a "build thread" so here is my Busa thread
I joined the .org way back when I bought my bike new in 2005. I have always been a lurker on this board as for the most part I have left my bike stock since I bought it. I just liked to check in and see what people were doing and ponder what I wanted to do when I was ready to start playing around with the bike. From the day I bought my bike I loved this thing, never got sick of the look which is odd for me as I get bored pretty easy.
On March 6th, 2010 I was commuting to work here in downtown Kansas City, MO when an unlicensed, uninsured, illegal alien turned in front of me coming from the opposite direction. He didn't see me coming at all. I was doing about 40 MPH and had approximately 30 feet to stop. On the brakes hard I hit the side of his Chrysler minivan at a 90 degree angle between the front tire and passenger door. I was wearing my helmet, riding jacket and gloves like always. I walked away with a little rash on my ankle, knee, and a cut elbow.
My insurance agent really took care of me as far as getting me a fair price for my bike and a great buy back price. The frame was unharmed but the front end was tweaked, and the rest of the damage was mainly cosmetic.
