Started on dragsters when I was 12. My nickname used to be peterzawackidoawheelstand as I used to be able to go on one wheel for blocks and blocks. Hasn't helped me today though!
My brother had a Kawasaki 750 Triple. I used to sneak his keys and get out on that when I was about 14. His girlfriend had a Honda 125 or something so I would also get out on that.
Then he got the big Honda cb750 four. I would also sneak that out.
Then he got a BSA 650 Lightening. Unreal sound. I never got a ride on that always pillion. :-(
I had a Suzuki TS250 for L's.
Then onto my bros old 750four
then straight up to a Katana 1100.
Wrote that off due to lack of experience in my opinion although not my fault.
No bike for 2 or 3 yrs after that.
Then onto a GSX1100e (Best bike I have had...cost me $1100 and went like a dream)
Then the Busa.
Didn't even know what one was until I read up on it.
Bought it straight up, no arguments...I knew it was the chosen one...:-)
Must admit I was a bit nervous after what I had read about the Bus.
I thought it would be this uncontrollable beast but to be honest I didn't feel any huge scary difference. Its been said before that the Bus does it all very calmly, I think thats true.
Total offs in 35 years.
3 (4 if you count dropping the bus in dirt pushing it backwards at Jindy...pls don't remind me!)
What I have learned.
LEAVE SPACE FOR ERROR.
Expect the unexpected.
Too much information?
rotfl.
Don't ask Rev to answer this one...we may be here all night...he's had a few like you Nitro.
