Hi all,
I should've dropped in at the start of the year, but I guessed all you ACTers were on holidays. It's been a long time since I said g'day to anyone on this site. What brings me back?\
Finally sold the yellow 998.
Bought a tricolore! Then an XR650R....Big Red Pig
Then sold the BRP and decided to get another Busa.
BUT!!! I wanted to get a bike that dominated everything, in the twisties and on the straights. A bike that kept me and the missus comfortable for the 500km trip to the Oxley, then allowed me to rip it to shreds once there. A bike that could change suspension settings on the fly, had traction control and tyre pressure indicators. A bike that kept by hands warm and had a little lever up the front for dipping the headlight when I loaded her up too much. A bike that shifted up with the throttle pinned and didn't need the use of a cheese cake clutch. A bike that told me the tail light was busted, but the used the brake light to keep me safe regardless. A bike made with German precision. A BMW K1300S.
... still not a busa, but it's almost as good...
