BUSA SAVES MY ASS. YOU GOT A SURVIVAL STORY?

Today I pulled out into a country road traffic light intersection on a green light.

Absent-mindedly, I cranked the bike off the light hard, intending to go straight, then realized I really wanted to turn left. There was no on-coming traffic. So I threw the Busa left on seriously trailing throttle, myself totally disoriented and, realizing the gravel shoulder was coming up at me fast, laid the bike way over on metal bits at about 45 mph to make the corner.

Now before you judge me an ass, know that I did see sparkles in the pavement which means to me that the road has grip. Sparkles are good. Not the kind of sparkles that come from windowpane...asphalt sparkles.

The bike just rode around that corner like Queen Elizabeth on a rollercoaster.

I love my forgiving baby.

How has the Busa's superior handling saved YOUR sorry ass?
 
Was the windowpane contacted before the ride or after the ride?

It is very dangerous to ride on the sides of buildings so your gravity defying Hayabusa may be what is needed to fight back the Martian green zx12 invasion.

Art Linkletter the famous research scienctist from Los Alamos has been conducting studies on this phenomena for years, the gravity fighting Hayabusa is the results of his early work in the late sixties. Ask ALice she will tell you the same (ALice is Arts wife). This puts a new meaning to riding the BUS - "The Highabusa", so be careful speed kills and so do little old ladies in their Lincon Town Cars. Are you considering painting your bike orange or purple, with a tiedye iridium windscreen. Sort of a sixties RetroBusa
when sex was safe and nobody shot each other.
Please keep both wheels on the ground or at least one. Have you checked into the Retrobusa Ralley in Amsterdam this fall?

At any time during the windowpane experiance did you feel like jumping from your bike through the window? :)

The Hayabusa 2000 will be capable of 420 as well, remember Jerry is dead.

KawAbuser: I try to be conscious of the language differences between our two great countries.

At the risk of being labelled uncool, I must tell you that in Canada, "windowpane" means acid or, at least, one way of ingesting acid.

Lysergic Acid Dithalimide.

You know, like Blotter, Sugarcube, Purple Microdot...

It's a way of life, and of riding, up here.

Look out for our strange kind of people.
 
That is why the Canadians at Loudon are so expressive. Where in Canada are you, the Boston Busa people are talking about a fall foliage ride maybe you could join and share some culture.
 
Peter, Peter, Peter,
There you go-Not the dreaded reference
to entheogens, not here, not on our family
values, middle Anerica, God and Country, beloved Hayabusa board. Your sure to risk the rath of Jamie/Fitch or even **** *****.
Party on dude!!

Quick, look it's FalconCop161. "Up against the wall Dirty Pete" and "You better be Clean".

You were clocked at 420 in a yuppie zone, "You're under Arrest"

Dirty Pete takes a deep breath into the breathalizer,
"Hmmm.....funny nothing registers, Get out of Bergen and Hurry!".

And Dirty Pete is "off" and running again, meanwhile FalconCop161 is lurking for another Drink Driver.

Moral of the story you cant 420 in Bergen NJ.

Disclaimer: all names are fiction and so is the events except for the sparkles(must be a fourth of July thing!)Freedom and all that good old Canadian/American fun.
 
And u had the nerve to talk about my wheelie video?U cant even ride.From what I've read so far is that you dropped you Hayabusa 3 times so far and you almost wrecked because you werent pay attention to where you were going.Do yourself a favor and sell your 1300 before you get killed.
 
Gixxer1300, relax it is all in the "sparkles"
or is that "sprinkles" like at Dairy Queen.

But dont get excited it is all only an illusion that he dropped his bike 3 times.

I tried to see your video but I had trouble with the plugin for the movie, maybe I will have to see it useing MS internet explorer instead of Netscape 4.6 and suggestions on opening your video.I have never seen it.
 
YO "Hose Haid" I struck a nerve "EH"? I can check profile's too. So you are an AD Exec. What the hell does that that mean. Probably that you can Talk the Talk, but Can't Walk it!! I was trying to lighten up things a bit!
 
Back to motorcycles or everyone will get a Time out and everyone will have to read the back issue 1959 of Popular Mechanic's on how to install your lawnmower engine on a bike frame.!!!!!!
 
Right on Cisco:

I wish I could just trash this trashy thread.

It started out like a fun idea, then quickly went sour after one nasty post. Very sour.

I'm as guilty as anyone for rising to the stinking bait.

Let's let this thread die.
 
Pete: I am really SORRY if i'm the one got under your skin so bad, NOT! You related a story to us, Shared with us if you prefer, and I DID jump on the Bandwagon. I thought you had a sense of humor after the streamer bit and all! I am glad you did not crash, brain fade happens to all bikers. I do hope that you are a better pilot than J.F.K Jr though! Brian
 
KawAbuser: The autumn colours ride with the Boston guys sounds like an excellent idea. I'm in Toronto, so Boston is 600 miles from me...kinda out of the question. Unless the Boston guys are going to ride closer to me into upstate New York (Finger Lakes are famous for Fall colours) or Vermont (Lake Placid area...is that Vermont?) I certainly wouldn't mind riding there on an overnighter and meeting up. I could probably convince a few more Hayabusas to join in.

When are we talking here? Late September?
 
Gixxer1300R:

Jeeze...

Haven't you got a funny bone in your body?

Have you just been waiting there in the cyberweeds until I exposed something you considered to be a riding weakness so you could wreak your long-awaited revenge?

Once again Gixxer you're making untenable assumptions like that "U can't even ride" comment. How do know that? Is that really likely to be the case?

You've never made minor errors on a bike? I have, but I've never made a major one in 34 years of very aggressive street riding. Never been down on pavement, never been in an accident or even had unintentional contact with another vehicle, no other vehicle has ever crashed into me, and I've never been even slightly injured on the street (although I've been busted up plenty in dirt and track competition). And I've never hurt a passenger.

I am much more proud of my safety record than any trophies I have earned, wheelies I have performed, or street contests I have won.

The point I was trying to make in my original post here is that the Hayabusa is such a good street bike that it forgives errors and allows you to push your way safely through them rather than going into that always dangerous panic/defensive mode.

I believe I have already apologized for my reaction to what I percieved as unnecessary bragadoccio on your part.

Now why don't you just do what our nice Haybusas do and forgive my error?

You should all cut Pete some slack. Afterall he was riding on CRACK!! Not the Drug, the one up his BIG FAT ASS!!! This message has been approved by Fitch, Jamie, Slurpee,and Kong :-) :-) :-)
 
I thought I was on the Local Union Forum after reading the last posting,I thought only construction workers and long shoreman had that problem.Now let's get back to motorcycles.
