Sad Day for Doc...

Well... I am down to one busa! I had to sell my original and long time friend, the '01 blue/silver. I had 18k wonderful miles with that bike... Several trips to LA, Laguna Seca, Moab Utah, Lake Powell, etc., but I need to pay some bills off and cull the herd.

It will be a sad morning looking into the garage and no blue/silver... especially since the turbo is blown-up again...
 
Dang Doc ...maybe you should have sold the turbo.... You know the blue and Silver is the fastest production color Suzuki made

Sorry to hear that Doc. I think that the reason that you're having turbo problems is because it's on the silver/gray. It's resisting you because it doesn't need it. You should have put it on your blue/silver. You wouldn't have any problems then..

Hey, I'm going the other route. Congrats on the sale. I know it's hard, but you still have some other steeds to saddle up!
 
You guys are the best. Yeah, it was really odd. I went to get the new Pirelli's mounted on the '01 and the guy at the shop asked me if I wanted to sell it... I said, maybe, he said give me your number... within a few days a guy called me, I told him what I wanted (FIRM) for it, last night he showed with cashier's check in HAND! WOW. That was fast.

Yeah, I am going to try owning just one for a while... However, don't be surprised if I buy a neglected/wrecked one and start a new project (NON-TURBO).

BTW, I would have sold the turbo in a heart-beat if I could have gotten even 2/3 what I have in it. Sure, I lost thousands on the '01, but I had it for two years and definitely got my money's worth of fun. I MIGHT have put 2k miles on the turbo over the past year, and at least 6 months of the last year, the darn thing lived at the shop getting fixed. It is sitting in my garage right now, dieing from a blown head gasket...

My advice to the Busa world... add a pipe (for sound), maybe a BMC filter, and LEAVE IT ALONE! Do all the Bling-bling you love, but don't mess with the internals unless you want to lose reliability... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

Thanks again,

Doc
