I sold my bike yesterday

[warbrown]

Well, I finally did it. I'd been feeling pangs of guilt lately that I hadn't been giving her the attention she deserved. She has endured the neglect in stoic silence, so my conscience finally motivated me to set her free to find another who will love her in the way she deserves. Ever since the Busa came into my life nearly 2 years ago, my poor Z-Rex has been patiently calling my name in the hopes for an occasional ride. Those rides had become almost non-existant, as any time I've been able to get free for a ride I'm choosing the flame that burns brightest in my heart... My beloved '03 anniversary edition.

I'm glad bikes don't have feelings because she'd sure think I was a scumbag for the way I unceremoniously dumped her for "the other woman." I used to care for her, bring her home new mods for no reason, whisper sweet nothings into those K&N pod filters as I shined her after a ride, but how quickly things changed. We would go for cool, crisp rides early in the morning, or sweat together in the heat of the afternoon. We even went on a relaxing sunset ride on the beach at Daytona once. I thought nothing could destroy what we had. I thought that until my first ride on a Hayabusa.

I'll miss her, and I'll always have the great memories, but don't expect her parking space to stay vacant for long. I've never been able to commit to just one woman... as far as bikes are concerned anyway.

Here's to the memories...

You should understand better than anybody right now... I'm glad you finally got your deal done.

You know you want a K5.

 

[warbrown]

You know you want a K5.  

I have been seriously considering it. Also considering the 600 GSXR or Ninja. So many bikes, so little time.. and money

I may have to take up Sageronin on his offer and take his wife's GSXR 600 for a spin. Those look like a blast.

very cruel....... thought you sold the bus.

 

[warbrown]

very cruel....... thought you sold the bus.

Yeah, that was the intent. Several other board members have got me hook line and sinker before with similar postings, so I thought I'd give back.

That's funny, I have a 01 ZRX and have just bought a 03 le. I plan to keep the ZRX though, as it was the first new vehicle I ever had. I just love the looks of the ZRX compared to the fizzy and bandit. Lime green of course!

Yeah, I knew this was a trick when I saw the title. I knew you had a second bike you never ride anymore, but couldn't remember what it was. I knew it wasn't the busa though...

I very well may just walk toward that light... I love the looks of your 636. Decisions decisions...

 

[BigBSBusa]

Wow, I got bit too! Guess you need to change your sig now, huh?

 

[warbrown]

Wow, I got bit too!  Guess you need to change your sig now, huh?

I was almost over her too, then you had to go and remind me I'd forgotten about the sig line. The wound is fresh again...

 

[ALLshow.NOgo]

HA! I thought you sold the Busa, thinking Why? I didn't see any posts leading up to this...Good one. Good someone will use her if you don't right?

Yup, she's an '02. I got her new off the showroom floor as well. I think it's always harder to let them go when you're the first owner.

 

[BusaReds]

Warbrown if you are lookin into a possible lil flickable stablemate for the Busa you have got to look into the Gixxer 750.   I love mine.   And since you are considering the 600 the 750 is the same bike just bigger motor.  The Gix 750 has enuf power to run with the 1000's all day long and still kill the 600's in the twisties.......
I put 300 miles on mine yesterday riding with my two Buddies one with a 05 600RR and the other with a 05 636.  They both love my 750's power and the three bikes are even matches in the twisties until the apex arrives in the turns and you roll on the throttle on the Gix and the 6's are no match.
