Better comraderie.....

Your right Paul.  I saw a write up on Cooley some time ago.  Cycle World maybe?  Anyway, they had Wes ride a GSXR1000 and a Hayabusa.  Cooley is a nurse nowadays.  Had a drug problem at one time, but went to school and is in the medical profession now.  I really liked the article.  Wish I had saved it.  Might have been a year or two ago that Cycle World did that piece.  Cooley liked both bikes but couldn't get over the leaned over riding postions which he was not used to.  He also couldn't believe how much power both bikes made in the low and midrange, especially the busa he said.  It's yet another reason I like the Bandit.  That engine is probably a not-too-distant descendant of the Suzuki "GS" engine in Cooley's bike all those years ago.

I remember that article and probably still have the issue laying around somewhere.  IIRC, the author mentioned something like 'don't be surpirsed if you're riding thru Idaho and see Wes on a Bandit.'
