Who\'s the Oldest & Youngest Hayabusa Owner?

[OB_SoreHead]

How do you find it Marmota?
I have most problems in the really slow corners and gusting winds.

 

[OB_SlowHand]

Bert and ROR, you guys aren't even close. Still, what are we arguing about; who wants to be the oldest of the Old Pharts?

 

[OB_Oger]

I am 23

 

[OB_Marmota]

Sorehead. I found this motorcycle a "bit" heavy in slow corners. I practiced in a small motorcycle during the Safety Class (prior to getting mi bike) and the difference is very noticiable. If I make mistakes, English is my second language, sorry.

I'm 52, and more people tell me I'm nuts now than when I was 18. Freaks most people out for 'old farts' to be riding 'Busa's. I love the look of the young guys faces when I take my helmet off!

 

[OB_Mr Bear]

Superman, Give me a heads-up when you are heading this way, pwtrt@aol.com. Also let Ducmanic know so maybe we can meet up with the LA Busas if you are around LA on a Saturday. www.labusas.org.

 

[OB_SlowHand]

Canuk, even funnier is the look I(we) get from some of the young teenybopper chicks. Leathers and an iridium face shield...how are they to know? Omigawd, they'd be horrified!

ROR, I had the pleasure of meeting you last Saturday and you don't look 59 at all. Riding the 'Busa makes us all young forever!!

 

[OB_ROR]

Thanks Waltman. It was a pleasure meeting you, too. I'm just one of those people who never wanted to act my age. When I was younger I wanted to be older. Now I want to be younger. And I'm having a great time trying.

Black Panther, I live in Phoenix (East Valley) and ride a '98 black ZX11. I have been trying to hook up with a guy Awatukee who has a black-bus (and a candy ZX11). Only know him as John (not you is it?). Let me know if you want to hook up for a ride.

I'm 46, and right now my Busa (red & black) is parked inside my house since it's winter in Norway. I do hope to start the 2000 season in March. 10000 km in 1999 without any problems at all!

I AM 59 WHEN I GET MY BUSA TO WARP SPEED LIKE 200 ON THE SPEEDOMETER, I FEEL LIKE I AM 25 AGAIN IT,YOU HAVE TO BE THERE TO FEEL IT.CAN NOT EXPLAIN IT ULESS YOU WHERE THERE.

 

[OB_richie]

I AM 59 WHEN I GET THE BUSA TO WARP SPEED LIKE SAY 200 ON THE SPEEDO, I FEEL LIKE 25 AGAIN, IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN THE FEELING YOU HAVE TO HAVE BEEN THERE TO KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Wild Boar here. Just pulled the trigger on a 2009 Silver Busa .
Been riding Harleys for years and have a 1982 Shovelhead dresser and a 2007 Street Glide , but at 6 months shy of my 57th birthday i felt a strong craving for "Sushi". Getting multicultural at my old age, i guess.
Lord have mercy !!
