Sturgis

Well, I guess out of 500,000 bikers - no one on a busa goes to Sturgis. Now I know why people ride Harley's - they are organized, like Connie riders. Its called Maturity. Busa riders seem only concerned about POWER. May have to join the group (buy a Harley) and feel like I belong to American cycling. Amen.
I go to Daytona Bike Week every year, but not Stugis. I have always been a custom bike rider. Have a Big Dog now with 230 rear tire and 107c.i. S&S motor. I have my Busa on the way and it will be the first sportbike I have ever had. I know that the people in the H-D crowd are much better organized it seems. I have to admit that I fit in with those people better it seems, but I like both kinds of bikes. I like to just get on my bike and bar hop, its down right fun. But you dont find people in sportbike crowd that like to do that. So I will continue to ride with my same crowd, but I will pull out the Busa every now and then and smoke there azz. LOL
My limited understanding is that Daytona is considerably more open minded. I do know that the guys I ride with are on cruisers/harleys and since I've had 'bird (and now the Busa), it's just not as entertaining with them. Not that they're not fun, but the difference in performance limits the cruisers - I've still got a cruiser but it's collecting dust.
I'm with you win43 I like all kinds of bikes. But sportbikes really get me jazzed. I dont drink heavily but enjoy a couple after a long cruise. I was on a Harley road King last year all over the northwest ( Seattle ... ) we stopped at a bunch of brew pubs and had samples... that was really a blast. The road king was very comfortable but didnt get me much excited, wish I had my bike with me but then I know I would have to keep stopping for my buddy to catch up. hehehe...
Oh and I think we really need a sportbike fest instead of being "the other group" at Daytona & Sturgis.

Hey Fris! I'll be in Seattle the last 2 weeks of August and we are planning to ride to either Montana or maybe Banff Canada
I'll give ya my cel. # if your gonna be back from the east by then. How long should it take to ride out to Montana?
( Missuola I - 90 ) Not sure what I'll be riding yet last year was a Road King but I may rent a Honda VFR or ST1300 touring bike, unless anyone knows where I can rent a Busa???

Hawaiibusa , I'll be taking my time seeing the
sights . You can get to Montana in about 10 hrs
6-700 miles from my place . I'd like to hook up with
you but I doubt i'll be back until the 29th . As for
renting a busa good luck , I will check around for you
though . Catch some waves for me .

Frisbee, what is your source of info on the HD-Honda relationship. Has anyone else heard of this? Knowing how everyone felt when HD got the tarriffs imposed on the Japanese bikes at that time I can't even see the execs from the two firms speaking to each other, let alone a buyout. I think I would have to consider this an urban myth until it is documented.

I don't hate them either. I am just trying to plug a gap in my knowledge if this is true. I was just wondering where you picked up on this. Maybe other site members can help out if they are familiar with it.
