I have been riding hard (not stupid) for 30 years and I am still here. Ride within your ability and the rest is up to fate. If you stop doing things that can hurt you you will have to set in a padded room. As a Police Officer I have seen lots of dead people everything including a slip and fall in your house can kill you. Bottom line if you love riding your Hayabusa then keep doing it because the moment you let the fear of death keep you from doing the things you love you are already DEAD! I had a guy at work who asked me why I don't worry about dieing, I stated that I have already lived more in the 40 years I have been alive than you will if you live to be 80, he had to agree. Good luck and keep riding.

That doesn't make you crazy it just makes you a gear head. Sorry no cure known to man however it is not necessarily fatal. There are allot of old gear heads on here including me which proves my aforementioned statement.
If you go slow it makes it that much easier for the reaper to catch ya
Of course anyone can die from ANY bike, but the reality is that the Busa
has way more power and is much more aerodynamic, and the temptation
to use it is always going to be there VS a Harley's measly powerplant.
At 24 you're all balls and no brains too......well most of us were....
I have an '05 Busa I bought new with my '05 Dyna wide glide.
I don't speed anywhere NEAR as much on my Harley as the Busa....
I've been 190mph on an open road out west of Chicago on my Busa.
Fastest I've been on my Harley is like 90.......because it feels crazy at that speed.
Fairings play a serious factor in cutting through the air at higher speeds.
I'd say if you KNOW you are endangering yourself, just sell the bike. I've seen so
many young kids in their 20's get killed because of their inability to maintain control.
If you are doing well ....then it shouldn't be a problem to grab another one later
on when you've calmed down a bit and can respect the bike's power more.
You're looking for a term more along the line's of "speed junkie".

You have the same sickness i have, I"m 49 years old. you just need to get a grip! I did when i woke up in the woods with my ribs pushed up in my left lung. $16000 air lift, $20000 med bills, $4800 to the busa, three months out of work. I got a grip the hard way. AND DAM LUCKY TO HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT
I completely know where your coming from. I also know how much it costs to pay for that experience, once was enough for me to take it easy it was an expensive lesson.
I'll take, Famous last words for $100, Alex.
Risk management....
Take this test...

Answer to number 1 is ">0.28" for the busa...
This test has been validated by the insurance industry actuary tables... by all means a "subjective" test and certainly not the last word is "risk management" but at least a primer as to what you might be up against.
I defied all the odds myself...

Looks interesting, but wouldn't the insurance industry validate anything that gives them justification to jack up your insurance?
??? Isn't that whole chart about justifying an insurance rate ? I see all the important factors on it.. Did I miss something ???
correct... from what I read, they used existing data to calculate the risk factors..
What I found most telling was the number of citations issued to a rider..
a +6 factor if you had more than 1?

If you got the HD route make sure you get the recall done, your recent track record tells me the last thing you need is crashing then bursting into flames....
