Hey folks! I can only make one first impression so I guess I better make it good! I am new to the group and a new rider as well. For my first bike I easily chose the Hayabusa, not because of the speed or the size of the engine, but simply for the look of the bike. I love the shape, curves and lines of the bike or better put I like the body and the ass
Before the 'Busa I rode a dirt bike for a couple of years and got comfortable on it. Call me crazy, but I just trust myself with the responsibilty and care it takes to drive a machine like this and jumped on the 'Busa for my first bike. To put it in perspective going 60 on a 1300 is the same as going 60 on a dirt bike, I can just get there a bit faster though. But more than that I understand it takes time to feel the bike out and get used to it. Amid the great ride and the power I am definatley loving the gas mileage it gets!

chrome fairing grills for body and tail section
Hotbodies undertail
Raceready smoothed and painted inner dash panels
chrome and engraved stator cover
chrome and engraved clutch cover
chrome sprocket cover
chrome frame spikes</span>

The hobby part is installing all of the parts on the bike myself. Fortunatley I have the time to spend to do all of it. Future mods include a 4-2-1 exhaust and some rims.
Other than that I am 26 and I live in the RTP area in good 'ole NC. I do the 8-5 thing everyday as an engineer, programmer and mathematician, so if you'd like to chat about any of that be my guest. I also love poker, surfing and a whole lot of other stuff all you have to do is ask!
Anyway, I am glad I can be a member and look forward to chatting with all of you.
Untill then, <table style=filter:flipH>see you in my rearview</table>...
