Looks to me like I would recommend going with a XXXL. You would be styling in that blue jacket. I bought GSXTacy the same Jacket last year from new enough. (GSXTacy is my son). Don't fret about your weight here, you look perfect busa size to me!

This will take some of the pressure off of your hands and help with the numbness. Have you looked at boots yet and found anything you like?
10-4. I'll buy the blue jacket.
I want to ride farther up on the tank, but I'm afraid the zipper of my fleece jacket will scratch it. I'll try using my abs tomorrow. Today I used my thighs to grip the tank, and that took a little pressure off.
That you are your son share a hobby is so ultra-cool!
I believe I've almost decided on the Icon Super Duty 3 boots.

Glad you are gearing up. Before you start thinking about dragging knee, you need to get some seat time on the Busa, like I wouldn't even think about it this year. Then you need to upgrade your gear to armored leather with pucks.
In the mean time, there are things you can do this season to prepare. (1) get the suspension on your Busa modded to match your size. I replaced the fork springs on mine and tuned it. The JINKSTER attacks suspension post is a great start. (2) Read Twist of the Wrist and Twist of the Wrist 2. Work on the technics at legal speeds on the street. You won't come close to putting a knee down, but it will help you with proper body position and balance. You need to be able to control the bike at low speeds before you can handle it at high speeds.
I'll see you at the track next year.

Dear Hal
Those boots look awfully heavy. Do I need such a heavy duty boot?
The price I see when I go to the site is US$129.

LIGHTEN UP MIKE! WE ALL HAD TO ASK QUESTIONS AT SOME TIME OR OTHER. RIGHT? SO LIKE MY DAD USE TO ALWAYS SAY "IF YOU HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY THAN SAY NOTHING"!!!
You can get a protective tank pad at just about any motorcycle store. Most of the guys have them, myself included. You are right, it is very special to have something in common you can enjoy with your sons. Here is a pic of GSXTacy and me.Dear HalLooks to me like I would recommend going with a XXXL.

Dear Randy
I'd bring photo gear to the Bash before I'd bring the 'Busa!
I don't know what you'd want, though. Maybe just an umbrella and strobe for fill?
I don't believe you'd want me to set up a background outdoors.
I still don't know if we're coming to the Bash. I asked my wife yesterday and she said she didn't know. See, she doesn't ride. She'd come in her car. And she doesn't know anyone. She's pregnant with our first kid and a little crazy at the moment. She says I can't go by myself.
I'll try to get an answer this afternoon.

Dear Hal
You have two sons who are into bikes? Wow!
My dad hated bikes. He used to give me motorcycles if I'd play sports. I hated anything to do with traditional sports.
I rode motocross quite a bit. I even went to the Gary Bailey MX school in Axton, Virginia, back in '82.
On streetbikes I'll never develop the same level of proficiency that I enjoyed with dirtbikes because I'm too afraid of crashing on the street. On the street not only are we risking serious injuries and death, but it usually costs us an arm and a leg to get our bikes fixed.

You and your wife both need to come to the bash! You and her both will make some lifelong friends I assure you. Mc Mustangs wife will not be riding, and I'm sure there are others she can have a good time with while you go for some rides. The fellowship at night around the fire is something she will enjoy and you guys will start making plans to come back before the bash is over. Here is a pic of MC Mustang and his wife. Nothing scary about this bunch of "bikers", just some great people who you will enjoy spending time with.
A single plain backdrop, couple umbrellas and we could set up a corner of the parking lot real quick.. Some studio quality shots of some of these machines would be really nice... not much in the way of "good" backdrop around the hotel where good shots could be staged.. heck for that matter if you have a Chroma Key Green we could have some real fun...
Bring the wife, kids, dog and the neighbors
not knowing anyone there is the last excuse that will fly as NO ONE knows anyone the first trip, and by the time you leave? you will have gained more new friends than you will see in a lifetime...
