Got my bike back today....

[Rothman]

After a year and several months of not having my busa because of a remote military tour to Korea, I finally got her back today. I thought nothing could ruin the day.... I was wrong. I noticed immediately when the crate was opened that they had the front ratcheted down very tight, I started to worry at that point. Once the movers pulled her out of the crate it was time for a thorough inspection. First place I went, the forks and guess what? Oil was all over the bottom inner left tube. Hooray!! Now I have to do about 2 months of paperwork to get the repair authorized and since I'm in Italy probably another month to actually get it repaired. If you've ever been to Italy, you know that the Italians are very relaxed and in no hurry to accomplish anything. FML

Sorry for your mishap. The fork seals are not that hard to do your self. If you do a search you will find a how to. It takes about an hour once you get the tool made. I wish you the best of luck. I found the link. Click below

Man sorry to hear this.

Perhaps you could just pick yourself up a used Ducati to tool around on!! Until the BUSA is fixed.

Oh, and thank you for your service, Sir!
