Mr. Stealer calls me back around noon today.."Why don't you come over and give the Hayabusa another ride, I can reduce the price another xxx.xx hundred dollars." Long story short...It was remarkable just how much my overall impressions were improved by a lowered price. And he offered to install one inch risers for the bars. I didn't know that you could do that on a Busa....checked on insurance, not as bad as I feared with a moderate deductible. I told him that I would consider it over the weekend and let him know Monday or Tuesday...B-King next year? Hayabusa now? It's black and silver by the way..the fast colors...

That's my thinking too Pete...no guarantees about next year.... or tomorrow...cya on The Blue Ridge....

Good Lord, they've drugged him with speed.

Lynn, I'm having a hard time seeing you riding a Busa with ape hangers.

I have a picture of me holding our oldest daughter, on my bike, in between what must be 18-inch apes when she is about six months old...she will be 42 this year...and yes, those addictive personalities will react to speed of all kinds...I only use the gasoline powered versions these days...damn, that makes me a huffer....apes on a Busa....cracks me up...

Buy the hayabusa now and trade it in next year!

Thank you Mr. Swamp Rat.....although I would prefer to wait around for your 20003 model....

I say buy the Busa and turn it into a street fighter

Don't think I've seen a naked Busa yet!

The only one that I have seen, Manny, was The Ghost Rider doing his badass wheelie routine on the naked turbo......

And the deed is done...seduced by speed...I fought it,

but I just could not hold out....I did have them uncrate a new one with 0 miles....

while I was waiting I rode a new GSX600...wow. I didn't realize 600s were that strong.....

Thank you Matt...I'm just about at the "if you don't do it now" stage of sport bike riding.....maybe a bit past....but apparently not yet..

.... I managed to ride past those other stores again...

Damn, I think I'm as impressed with the helmet as with the bike.... as with the hauler!!

You know who else swears by Schuberth helmets??

Here's a hint:
