I was made an offer that I could not refuse for my Evelyn, so she is now someone else's mistress. I went to my dealer to talk about a Grey 08 Busa, and they gave me the run around because they wanted to sell me the Orange and Black which they had in stock. While I was thinking about this and waiting for an answer on getting one shipped in, I stopped to watch a bike be uncrated at Brothers Powersports in Bremerton, WA. A few tech's gathered around and started to unveil a motorcycle that in person grabbed me by the brain stem and would not let go. Marchesini wheels, Brembo monoblocs, Ti Ni coated forks, Passion Red paint, light as a feather, trellis frame, digital dash, lap timer, I could go on for days. I have never heard anything like the rasp of that big twin on startup, burbling and tearing at the same time on overrun. The whirring of the valvetrain was just too much. I bought her on the spot. I am sorry to say gentleman that I no longer own a Hayabusa.
I know, I know, I am already there! Fortunetly, I have Isabella to wash away my shame. I hope that no one minds me continuing to be a contributing member of this wonderfull online family. Please, please, hold Isabella against me!
