Well, today was the day, my first ride on the 1000...we did 300 miles, a loop from the house to Tahoe and back. The new gsxr is awsome...its a tool, very fast in the twisties...just drops right in and launches out nice...but for sure dosent feel as planted as the busa, damn, that throttle response is unreal...I did have a major pucker moment though,
We were heading up hwy 88 to the back side of Tahoe...88 is 90 to 100mph sweepers...everything was going perfect, the bike was everything I thought it would be handling the twisties, but then it happened, as I sweeped around a right turn, just as I started to exit the turn there was a huge gash in the road and I droped right into it.
It all happened so fast all I can say I was on a pretty good lean when I droped in to the hole the bike just about launched me and started to tank slap.
My freind anthony was right behind me and said it looked like I might go down...honost to God I dont know how I stayed up. Its one of the closest calls I have had in years. I had to stop and when I got off the bike I was shaking.
Anyhow the rest of the day was great and we did 300 miles so now I have a whopping 456 miles on her.
When I got home to put her away the busa just stared at me...I think shes mad at me now for throwing my leg over another girl
heres some pics
