Hi all, I'm going to start trying to post more. I do a lot of reading, and really enjoy the group here.
I'm ready to pick up a Limited Edition 06 Busa at Orange County Motorsports Saturday. Have the check in hand, been working with them on this for a couple of weeks.
Today the phone rings... "Hi, we have bad news for you."
"Okay..."
"Yea, our mechanic was taking your new bike for a test ride and he dropped it."
"Terrific!" (Not.)
I was told the guy was waiting at a signal, a car came up behind him, and he freaked or something... who knows, nobody was there to witness it, but he dropped the bike on its side.
Scratched the faring, scratched/dented the pipe, scraped a mirror. And all before I even get to BUY the thing.
So now, I have to wait until Tuesday while they have new parts overnighted to replace what they messed up.
Pretty much a bummer, since I was pumped and ready to take possession Saturday morning.
Well, now they say they'll deliver the bike to my house for free to try and make up for the problem, after everything is perfect. I guess that's okay.
Can't wait to get it... I used to have an 03... had to get rid of it due to relationship issues... and then bought a 10R Ninja... but didn't like it, but only realized my mistake after riding for a couple of months.
Can't wait to get the Busa. It's like, well, you understand. It's just the best bike I've ever ridden. And there's nothing else like it. Just an incredible machine.
Thanks for listening. And thanks to all for the great site and the terrific information here. The value is tremendous, and I'm going to become a sustaining member by making a donation.
