Hi all
Just a bit about myself I'm a young 51 years and just come back to biking after a 30+ years gap. Passed my test in November 2006 and bought a 650 Bandit, had it for 6 months and whist out shopping for a bike for the wife to learn on I saw a white Busa. I knew then that I had to have one, asked the sales guy but he said they were a LTD addition and he could not get any more. To cut a long story short I managed to get one, all my mates said I was mad and that I would kill myself. I can tell you when I went to pick it up I began to think they just may be right, but now I know it was the best thing I have ever done. I don't think I will ever get the full potential out of the bike but I am sure that I will enjoy trying.:oh yeah:
I did get a bike for the wife and we are both now enjoying ourselves but the rideouts that we have together are a bis slow.

beinging an old timer ( said with curtosey and respect ) its not about what your mates say its about you , but you would know that .
It doesnt matter whether you get the full quid out of it as long as you have the time of your life trying .

great to see that a returned ride has stepped up to the busa plate
( returned rider myself)

what the older blokes lack in speed they generally make up for in knowlegde and cunning .

welcome to the forum mate :cheers:
