Happy Hello to Everybody here! 3yrs ago my (I thought) happy 18yr marriage disintegrated overnight. A few months later my hard working, law abiding butt was in prison for 3weeks courtesy of my lying estranged wife (secretly coached by dirtbag she was cheating with: son of Police Chief). I needed to concentrate to kill time. I wanted to reward myself upon completion of my state sponsored vacation. Instant decision: Hayabusa. I literally got off bus from prison in front of the bank. 1:55pm & 5mins til Sat close, I walked to asst mgr & said "I need $7,000 cash & I need it now. I just got out of prison & need to buy a Hayabusa today!" Obviously a poor choice of words as all heads turned my way but luckily it was my branch. I quickly recovered & apologized.. He said 'it takes a week. You have to...' I interrupted & told him to go to Mgr, and pull up my acct & credit. He returned 10mins later & said "this is highly unusual but we'd like to thank you for many years of business" and handed me a receipt for my now open $12k line of credit & a credit card w/$10k Limit. I called a craigslist 'Busa for sale' post I had been texting. Neg price, jumped in an Uber & bought my bk/purple '04. Loved it so much I bought a chromed out '06 trailer queen (see pic) a year later but too nice to ride it so sold it 7mnths later. While eBaying for parts I came across my newest 'had-to-have" Busa. I'm now proud owner of my all-time favorite: the inaugural, unrestricted '99 copper/silver HAYABUSA
