Hi ALL,
The time has come to say goodbye. With a heavy heart but also the possibility of another new beginning. After 2 years (from new) the depreciation would take a big dive if I left it any longer and luckily, I returned enough to think about another bike. The other thing was that had I hung on to it, I would NEVER be able to even look at another bike as a substitute. Definitely I can say that I will never again ride anything quite as beautiful and quite as powerful all rolled into one. I now need something lighter, so maybe a GSXR1000 or even the GSXR750 might fit me perfectly. Not sure. I still cannot believe that for the 2+ years that I have owned it, the bike has been totally captivating, like a mistress that is all consuming and inspiring. I am missing it very much already, but have decided to take some time before re-committing to another motorcycle, which I will do. It's got to be just right and every bit as captivating as my departed. It won't be easy, I can see that!
I'll probably take a small OS trip and check out the scene after Christmas/NY, early 2013 and see what I can bring home to park in the Busa's Haloed spot. Wishing you all the very best,
Falco
