I was working in the garage last evening when a neighbor stopped in seeing my light was on......he was just saying howdy...
I had my bike uncovered and was giving it a wax and he asked why there was Chinese writing on the fairing......I stopped and looked at him and said it's Japanese as this is a Japanese bike and it means Peregrine Falcon, and it's the Japanese written word for Hayabusa....
He said Oh.....does China make motorcycles, I told him they make a few which are mostly knock-offs of other manufacturers....CF Moto are Chinese made bikes for instance.....
There is a new house being built straight across from me. My garage door was open as I was home doing some work. I get a knock on my front door.
Can I please use your water hose, I need to clean off some piece of something (I don't recall what needed to be cleaned). I said sure right around the corner.
Now that water line was before you get to the garage. In other words you would never go past the open garage door.
So I went out to the garage and walked out to him. Just to sort of monitor things. My Busa is parked in the corner behind everything else. My Wing takes up most of what you can see on that side, aside from toolboxes etc.
The 1st thing out of his mouth was, Hey is that a Hayabusa? I knew at that point he had spent some time looking in my garage before knocking on my door.
Yes it's a Hayabusa.
It looks like new, what year is it?
2003
Man that thing is nice, wanna sell it?
Not interested.
I stood over him as he cleaned up his doo dad and he coiled up the house and shut off the water.
I don't trust anyone who zeros in on a bike that is not evidently displayed.
I closed my garage door and took a picture of his vehicle. Which by the way was easily able to put my bike in
I'm very paranoid after having had it nearly stolen once before.
Guy was totally nice on the surface. But knowing he had scoped out my garage and knew what I had and then knocking on my door after, put my radar on alert.
