hello friends

hello old friends.don't know how many here remember me. i traded my busa back in feb for a hd softail standard.i am 60 years old long time harley rider in poor health. i bought the busa after triple by-pass surgery last year and rode it for a year. boy it was extreme fun and i met some really great folks on this forum and at the fall bash last year.i sill have my electraglide and i just removed the sidecar so i own 2 harleys now. the electraglide and the new softail.my honest opinion of the busa for me is that it was way too strong for me and my type of riding. also with my physical problems i never felt comfortable with the ergonomics of the busa. don't take any of this wrong- i am not putting down the busa in any way. it was a new world for me and gave me a new perspective of sport bikes and sport bike riders- just not for me as i am laid back 60 mph sightseeing type of old dog that loves motorcycles. i love both of my harleys as they both have different personalities just as the busa had it's own identity and i loved that bike also.anyhow i just wanted to stop in and say hello to you all. i don't participate on the hd forum like i did here- just not the same. y'all be blessed and maybe we'll see you again up at deal's gap my friends.

Fall bash is just 5-6 weeks away. Like to see you there on whatever bike. At 50, I'm love'n the busa, but there are times when I'd like somethine like yours set up with a comfy rear seat for the wife.

Sometimes the riding spirit within me says "take the Harley", but it also says "take the Busa". Lately it calls for the Busa quite a bit, but my H-D will always be a permanent part of my toy collection.

No matter what ya ride, watch out for the idiots in the cages out there.

ya know- ever since owning the busa sometimes i have a "srirring" in my spirit for another fast motocycle. i still always admire the busa whenever i see one on the road and sometimes i browse the busas on ebay as there are some really good buys out there for Gen.1 busas. i had mine set up real nice for me with the 1.25 genmar risers & the buell footpeg mod.i also had the gipro digital gear indicator w/tre which was real nice to let me know what gear i was in.(that busa had so much power & torque it was hard sometimes to know what gear i was in?) 2nd,3rd,4th.5th it didn't matter cause all i had to do was twist the right hand & it would gooooo!i never knew if the atre part was even functional as i never got close to 186 mph.anyway- i'm selling my HD sidecar and was looking at some bikes on ebay for a third (#3). triumph speed triple,FZ1,honda919,suzuki bandit. never thought about the b-king hmmm. i have thought about another busa set-up like my old one hmmm. a friend is singing praises about the new concours also. i will try to make the fall bash as i had a real good time the last time. i still have my suzuki joe rocket jacket too. must be saving it for something. right?

No Sir I haven't made it to Barber or 29 Dreams yet. Maybe before the end of riding season I will get a chance. Everything is going crazy around here right now.

Let's definitely get together when you come in for the T.O.T. and try to get Terry and EJ to come along as well. Look forward to seeing you all. If you feel the itch you are more than welcome to take my bike for a spin.
