Hi Guys and girls,
Just saying hi, Im Phil, I live in North Nottinghamshire in the UK (Dont hold that against me now) and i had a dream of owning a...............Wait for it.......................Fireblade (Gulp, the crowd goes silent) yes thats right a Fireblade. I fell in love with my mates over 6 years ago and said i had to have one.
So i took the test, got a CBR 600 FX to cut my teeth on, druled over countless Blades id seen went to see a few for sale and then..............One day sat at the lights, i saw it. OH MY GOD, what is that. My mate told me it was a BUSA. Holly mother of hell, it was STUNNING, it was like nothing id seen before. I could hear a voice in my haed saying "Forget the Blade you want ME" and it was RIGHT...... I had to have one NOW!!!.
However, the nice man at the insurance office said "No" well he said a lot more than that really, somthing to do with only just passing my test and no experience, being a middle age new biker at which point i hung up on him.
I walked slowly back to the shed took a good look at the CBR and thought, ok so iv got you for another year at least then. That was 2008 now its 2009....
The insurance man said "Yes" so i was off to look for my Busa, Now to be honest i wanted a Busa around a 03 model, just due to cost really and the fact i dont get to ride very offten due to family and work commitments. I did not see the point of splashing out ££££££££££££ for some thing to sit in the shed most of the time.
So off i went, i must have been on the look out for around 5 to 6 weeks, scanned the net, Ebay, bike shops and so on, But i just could not find the one i wanted. You see it had to be the BLUE one or nothing, could i find one, could i hell, then i saw the Orange ones, humm that looks nice, but it had been sold already so no luck there either....
Then out of chance one sunday afternoon i walked in to the show room and saw what i think was an 04 in black, i say think cos just as i was looking at it the sales man put a SOLD board on it. Damb, no point in looking at that one then. "i can sell you a new one" i heard the sales man say. "No thanks mate, to much money for me right now". Then he pointed to 3 brand new Busa's sat in a line, "There over there if you change your mind" he said as he walked away..... Then i saw her, sat in the middle of 3 one blue (the one it had to be, remember) a black one and "her" a Pearl white 09 K8 LTD edition. i just stood there looking at her, she was amazing. No i thought, not a new one, no,No,NO. "How much, i asked". And the rest as they say is history.
So i now have a Pearl white Ltd Edition 09 Busa and i love her. Now dont get me wrong, i still hold a tourch for the Blade, but while every they make Busa'a the Blades just going to have to wait.
So in a nut shell that's "Me" summed up. hope you enjoed reading how i got here. I look forward to chating to you all soon and getting to know you.
PS any tips for a 30 somthing middle aged new biker would be great.
Catch you laters.
