New guy here

[Merc]

Gidday folks. Yes I am a newbie to this forum and look forward to being a part of this community. I have been a long time Suzuki rider over the past 33 years. Started out on a gsx 250, then went - gs1000s (that one got stolen and written off as did the guy that stole it)then bought gsx1100 (square headlight) sold that went travelling came home and bought a Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica! Sold that one week after buying it and bought gs1100g shafty - great touring. Next up was the original gsxr1100 - bought this one just before first baby was born in fact my wife was ten days over due so I took her for a very quick ride around the block and an hour or so later she went into labour! Traded that over to a new gsxr1100 and did the same a couple of times. When the busa came out I decided that would be the next bike for me but somehow found myself on a BMW. I did some stuff for BMW so for about 12 years I rode the k1200's and went through a few of them. I was spoiled by the luggage system as I travelled a lot and also had to park and fly a fair but so the ease and security of the laggage was pretty bloody good. Unfortunately been bikeless for about 3 years and am looking at getting my long awaited Busa. Found a 2011 model no km's on it for $14990 ride away so I reckon I will jump on that. First thing will be a secure top box (left a post about that) and then change the pipes to something a little more pretty. Of course I will be reading the threads about luggage, rides, touring etc adn doing my best to keep my licence. I am not buying the Busa because it is fast I am buying it because it is a bloody good looking bike, comfortable and enjoyable to ride and also do some long distance.

Cheers
