Thanks gentlemen, I appreciate the welcome. A little bit about myself: I am mostly a sponge for knowledge and have been soaking up a lot of it from this board. I starting riding again after a 20 plus year layoff. I have ridden just about everything on two wheels from youth. I last rode in '86 when I owned a FJ 1100 Yahama. I had a young family then, and because I was a little too wreckless in those days, I sold the bike and decided to dedicate all my time to the family (with a little prodding from my wife). Last year I got the itch again, (family all grown and gone), so I decided to satisfy the itch and the "05 Hayabusa red and black was my logical choice.Fellows I thought the FJ was a bad ride, but my 52 year old body was not ready for the suprise that was about to come. Upon exiting the seat after the first ride, it was somewhat of a chore just to stand and make my way to the toilet. This bike is a monster not to be tamed, only to be respected. Since I have been frequenting this board I have also acquired the mod bug which can be expensive but is sure a lot of fun. Again, thanks for the welcome and please keep the knowledge flowing. Sorry for the long first post. Johnny
