Some Vic riders really get the best out of warm dry periods as the most travelled mountain roads can be treacherous when wet with dew, run off or damp leaves. Now the Vic cops have decided to resort to camoflage tactics to pick up bikes (even if alone and the road is deserted and straight - go figure) - it means that we have to seek alternate outlets for enjoying the potential of the Busa.
In the past we have had 20+ on day rides. Some very active members used to coordinate these. There are still plenty of Busa's on the road down here - just fewer than on warm, dry days.
My Busa is about to go to PTR for a pep-talk before I check out the next Champion ride day option. I love riding it to work but there is just no where to 'use' it safely. Without an open road it is like sitting all day watching porn - the thought is there, but it is still not the real thing. (NB I don't advocate the watching of porn - this was just a metaphore).
Bob (ps I've just sold my Beemer after >250,000 kms, reliable as can be - new one does look interesting).
