Average Joe Hayabusa

I'm looking at this average Joe, who sits across from me.
He looks like any other, nothing special I can see.
Two arms and legs, he needs a shave, appearances don't tell
That this guy rides a Hayabusa and by crikey... rides it well.

I've wondered if I had 'the stuff', the balls to choose that ride.
I've often thought "Too much for me!", I just might not survive.
So there must be something 'bout him, but from here I just can't tell
Coz he rides that Hayabusa.... rides it fast and rides it well.

I'm taller, stronger, fitter. He looks like any other Joe !
My leathers blaze with colour, my bike has lots of go.
But I look upon his brooding beast, on its side-stand large as life
And tell myself "Too much for me, I'll only get in strife !"

So tell me, how does average Joe control and tame that beast ?
Beneath that calm exterior, must lurk Hercules at least !
But the answer is quite obvious, I've known it from the start.
Its not strength, but courage. Average Joe's just got more heart !
