Well most people dont know this but times have changed for me lately. Due to lifechanges, I have moved in with my sister and her kids up in Ohio.
I have noticed the kids both oogling over the Busa and every once in a while I catch them peeking out of the window when I leave sometimes.
I asked them when I first moved in if they wanted to go for rides and they both wanted to. My nephew especially!
Well I did not have all the proper gear for them at first, but after a bit of saving and catching salesover the past month, I finally got the jacket, gloves and helmet that they can both share for the rides. AGATT!!!
My nephew is 13 and my niece is 16, both wear a size small hemlet and a mens small mesh jacket.
So the ladies tonite went out shopping and I took the boy out on the Busa!!
Gave him a quick 15 minute lesson about all the do's and dont's of being a good passenger, geared him up and off we went!!
I went through the neighborhood around 25 mph for a little while just so he could get the feel first of the bike.
Then it was off to the main roads. At a couple of stops, asked if he was ok and I got a big thumbs up!
Went down around the state park roads and got in some small twisties for him then off to the main road for some straight line speed!! Unfortunatly there was some traffic so the 60 mph speed limit was it for the day.
Stopped of at Scooter's for some ice cream and headed home in the reverse route.
He was all smiles when we pulled into home!!
He swears we were doing over 100 mph down that straight. "That was fast!!!" he says. uuuuuuum no that was only 60 . . . "only 60? seriously?" Yep.
I gave him an A+ for his first time because he actually listened and followed everything I told him to do as a passenger!!
Maybe next time we can get up to 75 mph, or to him 150 . . .
