Good morning! Yep, after waiting for three years, I finally broke and bought a 02. I'm a mom of 5 kid's,all teens,except one who has done a tour of duty in Iraq,I'm just a sneeze away from 50!!,but, heck, what am i gonna do,wait 'till I'm sixty!
I am going to hang onto my 00 CBR 600F4 that has almost 100,000 kms on it that i have had for 3 years,it will be my track/winter bike. I was only able to go for a couple of short rides on the busa before the snows came and can't WAIT for just a bit of clear pavement to take it out.
Am I the cool mom when i drop one of the kid's off at school on the back of my 'busa? I used to take them now and then on the back of the CBR, but the poor thing is getting kinda old and tired ( like it's owner...?)
I was away from riding for almost 16 years because of family demand's, but now I am in big time. ( As you can see from the km's on the Honda) I originally was looking at a busa, but decided to be a little more conservative and wait until the right time came along.
A short list of bikes owned since the 80's
Honda Rebel 250
Virago 1000
Suzuki RG 500 Walter Wolff Edition(Stolen, of course...)
Re-entry bike- 92 Ninja ( I called it my 'drop bike" )
00 CBR 600F4
02 Hayabusa ( yeah,baby,yeah!!!)
I thought of a VFR,because I was racking up so many k's I thought a sport-tourer would make more sense,but my heart and soul cried out for a 'busa,still a sport-tourer in my mind. A wee bit of lowering,handlebar risers, and i'm off!
I'm not very big,5'4 about 120 lbs, I'm a little concerned about the weight,( the bike's ,not mine!well maybe mine too...!) but I will adapt. Just for fun, I want to take it on a track day,just once,just to see,you know..
Anyway, there you go, some women my age look at me horrified and ask " Aren't you afraid?" I'm not really sure what they mean....
