Hello all. Haven't been on in a while. Shame on me. I hope all the NE peeps are all doing well and trying to survive the worst winter in years. I mean how many mornings have I woken up to -30 ?
At Easter, I leave for my month long trip to ride down to Oaxaca Mexico and possibly guatamala if time permits. Four 10 hour days of riding slab to get to the border. Arghhhh......
Sadly, and I mean very sadly, I cannot take the Busa for this trip. The speed bumps or as they are called in Mexico,topes are very high and NOT suitable for my slightly lowered Busa. Some so high,the riders do something called'high centering" on thier adventure bikes,where the bike sits on the skid plate with both tires off the ground.
Not Busa friendly. Which makes me very sad, as my Busa is so comfortable,so reliable, just soooo amazing as a more than capable sport touring machine, I am going to be heartbroken to leave her at home. She is going to wonder why I am leaving her,like she is being punished.
I will be doing this trip solo. Four days ride to the border, 12/14 days bumming around Mexico ,and then I MAY take a little longer coming back, maybe swing through the gap and the lower BRP.depends how much money and motivation I have left.???
No habla espanol,lo ciento!
