Hi everyone
I'm new here so I'll introduce myself
I'm Irene, I'm 27, from Italy... I've just sold my Honda VTR1000F (SuperHawk) and I'm saving money to buy a beautiful '04 Busa from a friend - it's silver and blue.. I'm just drooooooooling :-)
If everything is ok, I should save enough money in the next few months and get my hands on the bike in early December or sooner - I'll keep you posted.
I live in Torino, Italy - where we had the winter olympics in february. There are lots of hills, mountains etc... just 1-hour out of town... the seaside is about 2 hours from here, too... so riding here is pretty much wonderful.
In the past I've owned a Kawi ER-5, a Honda Hornet 600, a Ducati Supersport 1000 DS, and the Honda Superhawk. I'm the only bike rider in my family - I just sort of had an epiphany some years ago: I was in my car, in a huge traffic jam, and I just thought.... hey I wanna ride bikes! what am I doing in a car?! so I just got my license and started riding :-) I can't remember how many times I dropped the bike in my very few riding lessons.. the riding school had this old Honda CB500 and I guess I must have dropped it a thousand times :-) but then again, time goes by, miles go by, it gets easier, it becomes second nature, and before you know it, you're hooked for life :-)
In Italy there are not many women who ride bikes, I guess that right now women make up for about 5% of all bikers, not more. anyway it's becoming increasingly common these days, which is a good thing.
What else? I'm a young medical doctor, and currently I'm a first-year resident in anaesthesia and intensive care. I love running, scuba diving, mountaineering... I love reading, going to the movies, playing with my dog (a 7-month golden retriever, Stella).
this is it - long post, but I really wanted to introduce myself. I'll keep you posted and let you know when I actually bring the 'Busa home, in a few months from now.
meanwhile
enjoy your ride
:-)
