(shortcut @ May 04 2007,08:11) hey- i am an ol' dog harley rider. currently riding an 02 electraglide standard with 40000 miles. last year i put a tle sidecar on it. this past monday i picked up a brand new 06 blue/silver busa. i'm 60 years old and just had heart surgery. i haven't been able to get my feet up on the pegs because my leg is all stove up from where they took the vein out for the triple by-pass. i did force myself once and rode about 10 miles. what a motorcycle-the busa. definitely not what i'm used to and i'm going to have to adapt to the new riding position but all i can tell you is i had a smile from ear to ear. all my harley buddies think i lost my mind also. young mans bike, death wish,jap crap,etc. i don't have nothing to prove to no one. i love my new busa. smooth,powerful,stable,looks beautiful. can't wait till i heal up so i can take it for a real ride. in cardiac rehab now-maybe 1 or 2 more weeks and i'll be physically ready to try again. (got to get my feet up on the pegs!)
love and respect sc <><
