Hi all.
I've been a member of the Australian Hayabusa Club forum and Facebook pages for quite some time as well as the Adelaide Hayabusa Club Facebook page, and thought it was well past due that I should join this forum.
I've been riding bikes for more than 30 years but only joining the Hayabusa community in 2013 when I bought my first Busa, an all white 2010 model.
That bike has come and gone. Matter of fact I've owned a total of 6 bikes including 4 Hayabusas in the last 13 months alone.
My current ride is an early build Gen 2, 2008 model but delivered in 2007. One of the first in this country as its build plate ends in 00003.
In between I owned a copper/silver '99 model and a red/black '99 model, both in very nice condition with low miles.
Anyway, I hope to continue to learn from this site and if I can contribute anything I will.
Cheers to all..................

Both very cool bikes, I have a red/black 99, great bike once they are freshened up a bit!

No , I don't do facebook , and I am always told I am missing out . I do sometimes buy folding knives from Instagram collectors though . I am really a media moron .... but I have read a couple of peoples write ups on the computer site forum for Australian Hayabusa org . Is there a site for Adelaide Hayabusa club ? My mate has ridden with a few people he knows well in your club I think , do you know Big Matt (Troopmaster ) ? Ever been to the bike show at Strath that is held at the pub near Mary lou' s , Matt sort of organizes that with his publican mates .

PS. I will have a look now on my computer for any club info .

 

[SHORDY]

Yeah, I know Matt.
I went to one of the Beer and Bike days at Strath years ago.
Matt no longer has a Busa.....

 

[ROADTOAD1340]

Yes , he sold to both our old mate a few months ago , I have known Matt since early '90's . I have scored the suspension and wheels for my next project from his Busa . Matt took mine and his Busa's up to Hidden Valley NT , 5 of us hired the track for 3 full days of huge fun track time , that was a blast . As for the last Strath day , it was rained out , so I didn't get to that one . Do see some nice bikes and interesting owners those days . Anyway , maybe I see you in the hills sometime .

Welcome! Quite a few 'mates' on here already. Are there any mountain roads to ride over there? Elevation changes, trees, lefts and rights? Say, I ask everyone, have you been to Cunnamulla?
