Okay, so GMbusa headed into town this weekend and happened to have a toy with him. His new 06 turbo busa... He knows I've been wanting to ride, and I've also wanted to ride a turbo busa. He also knows my skill level, and knows if anything happened, I would pay for it.

So, as my first ride on a bike since my wreck? TURBO BUSA!!!! Yeas, I took it slow at first, got used to the bike, and only really got on it in first, and honestly, I think my mind subconciously blocked me from going full throttle. Still, It's the ONLY time I've ridden a bike that spun the tire at 50-80 mph on throttle... DANG! I got going easy up to 4k on my last run, and finally talked myself to go into the boost... As soon as it hit 8k the tire broke loose, I shifted to second, and spun a bit, hooked, then shutdown as I quickly ran out of room... and quickly ran over the speed limit. So, All in all? I went from having a semi crappy past couple days to not giving a shid anymore and wanting a turbobusa!

GMbusa is the man. He's been a great friend of mine for a while now, and on his and his wifes (Dreamin of ridin) allowance, I got to experience a turbo busa. Fahkin A! These two have made my week. I would like to extend a special thank you to Susan and Paul for letting me test ride it, and making me incredibly happy!




Man, I feel like I'm a journalist writing a review... Oh well, for good measure in that case...


Story by Ben Harper on the subject of Gator Motors owner Paul and his wife Susan letting Ben ride a turbo busa.


All tales told in part of Mr. Harper are purely fictional... no really.

If I am correct (Which I always am...) It is off and another is on in it's place... Am I wrong Paul? (I never am... I'm modest too.)
