Hi there Guys and Gals,

Well, after saving my pennies, saying my prayers night after night and writing a tonne of letters to Santa Claus, my big day finally arrived. I took the day off last Friday to go and pick up my new Red & Black 'Busa.

For those of you who bought your 'Busas on the tail end of a different (and no doubt inferior!) bike, spare a thought for me, as my test ride on the 'Busa was my first time on a bike after a ten year break!!!

Yes, in case you were wondering, I did go home afterwards to apply a vacuum cleaner to my eye-balls (to suck them back forward to where they were before the ride!!)

My ride home from the Dealer saw me grinning from ear to ear. What was even more entertaining was the WRX & HSV owners who pulled up alongside and sized me up!

Did I take them on? Nyahh - I figured that there was as much challenge in me burning them off as there would have been in them having a drag with a Mack Truck! (Maybe next time I will, just to teach them some humility!) Does anyone else get reactions from Tossers like these or was I just lucky?!?

Anyhow, if there is anyone in W.A. going to the Toy Run this coming Saturday, post a reply and I'll keep an eye out for you (vacuum cleaner jokes aside!)

Santa came early for you this year, Congratulations on your new baby you will find that the busa is a remarkable bike, just take it easy, until you are one with the machine, remember on a busa you have no need to prove anything to anyone. Enjoy and safe riding.

Volvi,

Thanks for the words of caution - I must admit, I certainly have a very healthy respect for what the 'Bus is capable of. So much so in fact, that I have myself registed for a Honda rider awareness training session (run in conjunction with the WA Police Force) for mid-December.

I'm not proud,,, I'll be the first to admit my limitations - call it survival!

Heidi - you're a bad influence LOL!

On Ya Heidi
I'm with you cause you can't let any tin top driver go around saying he blew away a Busa.

I always find it is a nice touch to wait, lift the visor, let them see it is a girl..... THEN blow them away at the lights.
