Dunno if it's going to matter to anyone here but it's my opinion and I'm gonna give it to you!!!!
I first heard of the Hayabusa (or saw one for that matter) when I caught up with Vitto the day we met up with the SA crew in Tumut on the run to Tathra two years ago.
I was on a DL650 -I still have- just going to meet people who enjoyed riding bikes, and to have a fun weekend away.
We stayed overnight at Cooma, where Greeny saw fit to call me Mr Sensible because I had bought the DL to do what I wanted to do -more comfort than a trail bike, but still capable of off road.
I had a great trip, met some fantastic people, and wasn't in the slightest bit interested in buying a 'busa. I came home from that trip and signed up as a member because I wanted to stay in touch with the PEOPLE I'd met, not their bikes.
A few months went by and I found myself sitting at home with a broken leg, my wife in hospital and I was looking after our three kids.
As a release I was haunting the forum, and happened to see that Heidi had just bought herself a gen II at a great rate, and just out of curiosity asked her how much she wanted for the Gen I.
After a few messages back and forth I took a trip to Canberra and a deal was struck. The Mrs wasn't too pleased at a third bike at home, on top of all the other boy toys laying about but she has learned to live with it.
The sense of welcome, and the breadth and depth of knowledge is what made me come and stay on this forum, not the "presteige" of the Hayabusa, Frankly I don't care much for the brands of vehicles, Ford or Holden, Suzuki or Kawasaki, at the right price I'd pilot them all.
So now I own a Hayabusa I meet the criteria for membership, but honestly I'm not that fanatical about them, so does that mean I'm a member or an Associate? Does it really matter? Not to me!
