Greetings,
Let me say that I enjoyed reading everyone's thought on the first bike forum. More common sense here in this forum than I have read any where else. Just great feed back.
Common sense. Two big words huh? I have had my Busa for one (1) week. Five (5) miles is all I put on it. Why? It's 70 degrees here in Arizona for crying out loud!
Well, I have been a little under the weather latley. My job involves many hours at different times of the day. Jet lag would be the best way to describe it. Not unusal to be up for 18 to 20 hours before I can get some rest. With that being said riding the Busa is just out of the question.
Slow reaction times. Brain in la la land. You get the drift. Cager's are aleady trying to hurt you so why add to the odds. Not trying to make excuses here folks. There is a time to enjoy this motorcycle and there are times to put another coat of wax on it. It's mine. It's not for sale. It's not going anywhere.
I also strongly agree with past posts that I need a little time with this bad boy. Yeah. Last bike was an 1800 Gold Wing. Now that's a bike! (picture attached) Why did I sell?
Well folks. My best friend, his wife and my lady friend were on our way to the Harley 100 th. event in Milwaukee. We were exhausted from riding 10 plus hours the day before. On a country road in Nebraska a pickup truck turned in front of him. His life was taken right there. His wife survied but with many injuries. My lady friend will not ride anymore. It took me almost three (3) years to buy another. I just love motorcycles.
I am not asking for pitty. We are amoung the living and must continue to do so. Everytime I think about riding my friend David will come to mind. I think about him every day anyway. It just reinforces the fact that one's attention must remain focused at all times when riding. Don't forget the proper riding gear also.
Did not mean to rattle on here. I'll switch to decafe.
