My biggest problem with the Busa is on gravel...I live down a gravel road, driveway is gravel (welcome to the country)...
I keep parking the Busa in odd spots where I can't pull forward when I move it, leaving me to try and back the beast up with my feet. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't...I really only have problems when the back tire gets in a "rut" and I have to try and "rock" the bike back and forth to free it.
This morning was nice...I took the kids to daycare, then headed back home to get the Busa out. I was in such a hurry to get to work, so I did exactly what I shouldn't by pulling right up to our boat, making it harder for me to back up. I washed the bike off and hopped on.
It's then that I realized I was essentially stuck, and in the middle of trying to back Caesar up, I slipped up and in a very slow motion sort of move, laid the bike right over on it's clutch side. I worked so hard to keep him up, and in the process forgot to move my hand out of the way...crushed my little finger...
I'm fine, except for the throbbing in my finger...I'm going to lose the nail, but my pride is hurt more than anything
Caesar has little scratches here and there from the gravel, and the Kanji symbol on the side is marred...I'm really ticked at myself for not being more careful, but I dumped the Harley in the same damn way! Guess I'm destined to drop every bike I own in the gravel at least once...sort of a right of passage?!
I was going to go ahead and ride the Busa in to work, but the oil light came on and blue smoke billowed out of the exhaust for a few seconds; when I checked the oil indicator, there must be oil elsewhere in the engine from being laid on it's side for a few minutes...I put him away and drove on it to work...
Don't laugh at me guys...I'm embarrassed enough as it is...and my new bike needs to be fixed already...
If this is any indication of how my entire day will be, I'm going to bed...
Now, I must go work...
How hard is it to have the decal replaced? That's about the only part that needs to be replaced I think...
And I'm lowering the Busa for sure, so I don't do this again!
I dont recommend drapes though, I think some quality Venetion Blinds would be more suitable.
