Well the time has come, i know it did once before, i am letting the busa go. I have been struggling with back pain for number of years now and i just cant ride the thing. I dont want to sink a bunch of money into the machine to try to make it rideable and still fail then be out even more money. I have decided i am going to the dark side least kinda. I am trading my busa in on a Porche...aka V-ROD. I found a smoking deal on one locally and i cant refuse. I have ridden the rod most of the week as it is a private owner who has it. We traded bikes for the week and both of us are thrilled with the swap. Will make it official tomorrow morning. Nice thing is my bank is doing an exchange of equities so my balance doesnt change or anything else just the bike. The guy i am swapping is giving me a grand so i basically got 8000 for my busa. Not bad for an 08 with 1500 miles on it. The rod is an 07 with 4000 miles on it. Babied big time as the fellow is older. It has an after market air cleaner cover, bigger fuel tank, full exhaust, and has been programmed. It also has a security system, new tires and fresh oil change. And get this many of you remember when i joined, some wont, my 2002 bus was viper blue......Well the Rod is viper blue! Its like a full circle kinda just a different machine. I have no plans on leaving this site as many of yopu have become great friends. I have yet to meet some of you in person but i have met some! I look forward to many years of fellowship here till vabs kicks my ass out....
) I'm glad you found another bike that is a good fit and didn't have to leave motorcycling completely. And don't forget, we're a visual bunch so post up some pics.
