Hey All,
I live in NC. In another post I referenced the Hayabusa as my first bike - just kidding
Let's see.. started off many years ago (I'm 38 now) as a little boy (maybe 6?) riding a Yamaha Enduro 80 with my siblings. Only crashed it once, but I also remember attaching a board to it with a rope and pulling people around. Always wondered how we survived without broken bones or killing each other.
A neighbor had an RM80 and rode it once, but never got into the dirt bike scene. Took a break from bikes until late 80s when I picked up a Honda 1000 cruiser from a used car dealer (looked a little like the bike from Purple Rain). Couldn't get the title to it, so he offered to trade it in at their sister MC dealership who sold Yamahas. I bought my first 'real' bike - a V-Max. A brute to be sure, but I loved it. Not having enough respect for it, I totaled it within a year. Was laid up in the hospital for 2 weeks or so and recovered for another couple months.
Took awhile before I picked up a Kawi ZX1000R. Added a V&H 4 into 1 and stage 2 jet kit and had a blast with it. Ended up selling when I relocated.
Moved to NC and bought a Honda Magna. I thought it would have some juice being a 4 cyl 750. Nope. Got rid of that and traded a truck for a Virago 1000. Nope, that has no juice either.
Bought a 2006 Busa LE. Ahhhhh. That has some power to it! Actually, a whole bunch of power!!
So here I am with a Busa. The pick is one with my son. Bike is stock, it has enough power as it is for me
