Great Thread.
My lowlights were hearing about OhZone's prang and injuries. Mainly because I know him through a couple of rides, local boy etc. Obviously Dirtbags demise is really sad too. I must admit, every time I hear of a rider dying, regardless of the type of bike I cringe. Most are so un-necessary I'm sure, (not saying who's to blame). There was another one in Perth last night. The intersection has lights so.....
Highlight was finally getting a chance after nearly 40 years of riding, to get onto a track. Just being able to wring it's neck in relative safety at the drags and at Wanaroo has been fantastic. Stuff like wheelies over skyline (which I've seen on TV many times) is a hoot. Never thought I'd be one doing it. Now I have spare wheels, slicks and another drag racing tyre!.Drag racing, like most started as an effort to get under 11sec. Now it's getting under 10sec!
Stopped short of a transporter and spare bike, but who knows....
Oh and meeting a lot of great guys through the Busa. What a refined, generous, polite, conservative, modest, nice, well dressed, non swearing, religious, humourous, patriotic bunch of bastards! Haven't met any women on Busa's over here yet, but I'm sure they rate high!
Have a great Xmas and New Year and keep the shiny side up! Oh and keep your cheeks apart....smile!
