Started riding road bikes about 5 years ago.zzr250 then vfr800 after about 6months then bought a busa about 2 years ago.Did superbike schools,stay upright schools etc very early on before i knew it all.Loved the vfr to bits but rode dads busa on a track day and was seduced by the grunt and its similar braking and handling to the honda.Done heaps of track days in the past spent a few years dragging now and still think its healthy to get the butterflys of what if, whenever i climb onboard.I suppose its a fine line between trusting in your abilities and the bikes and staying alert enough to react in an emergency.Grateful to not have had it go pear shaped yet and not being able to get out much and stay sharp allows the nerves to creep back in sometimes.I,m sweet in a straight line though.
