Yearly Warning

[MET]

Nothern Guys and Gals. Watch that Spring time first ride. I know I say this every year but if this helps just one person it is worth it. We ahve tons of sand on the road, and the Busas have lots and lots of torque. You do the math.. Be careful the sand Vultures are just waiting for you to slip

Yer not serious right.......we had 9' of snow this year.......had to put the Busa on a track and ski

No.......just a crappy corner with lots of gravel on the edges that cages pull onto the road.
Gave it a li'l to much on exit and the back went about a foot and a half wide.......scared my pannies off me!!!!

I thought sand was just that stuff kids play in and cats bury turds in out in the back yard?

Almost busted my ass on a damp double yellow line in a set of loose S-curves. Was haulin' and got on the painted lines just before I flicked 'er over between the curves to get my lean on for the second curve. Ass got loose and slid out a little until it caught on the pavement on the other side of the lines. I had forgotten how slick them bastids can be!

Hell yeah I was flyin'! That's why I used a bit more road today than I usually do in those curves. I normally keep it in a single lane through 'em at around 70-80 MPH. Today I was in a higher speed mood so I decided to use a bit more road and really cut them up. Don't know how fast I was actually goin' but it was more than 80...

yep, that sand can be provide a rather interesting experience. Thankfully I have not had to deal with it yet.
