Well, here we are again. Another Christmas / New Year approaches at the speed of sound.
Someone had to be the first to say it.... so Merry Christmas everyone and may 2007 be a fantastic year for us all.
Being the end of the year, I'm sure we all do a little soul searching and review the year that was. The highlights and the low moments of our riding year.
For me, the highlight of my riding year was finally planting my butt on another busa ! The wait seemed to go on forever and the sense of elation when Astrobusa MkII was finally mine is something I will never forget. The smile has never left my face and the obsession has returned. One very happy busa rider. Theres been too many fantastic rides since then to single one out - but once again, I want to thank M8EE and RuffRed for all the assists they gave me in getting hold of the bike.
Now for the low moment of my riding year... which was the tragic loss of Dirtbags. I never met the guy, but the outpouring of love, platitudes, shock and grief swept me up and made the loss very real for me. As I've said before, it was this tragedy that sealed my decision to not delay getting the next busa... coz we never know how long we've got. Thanks DB Wish I'd had the chance to meet you.
Finally, before I finish let me just say... please please please people, take care out there over the holiday season. Ride safe, ride wise and watch out for the loonies.
I don't want anyone in my busa family becoming a statistic.
So... what were your riding highlights and low moments of 2006 ?? Care to share ?
Ok... and just to lighten up the mood a little after that sombre outpouring....
Merry Christmas one and all ! The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob
