LYLE et al: Why SHOULD we have anything in common?
We're virtually all speed freaks, male, predominantly mature, highly experienced on motorcycles, computer savvy and net wired, non-conformist, employed, mechanically oriented, headstrong, curious, competitive, articulate, co-operative, willing to plunk down cash on a machine that's never been ridden by anyone before, and anxious to waste vast amounts of non-rideable time kibbitzing about bikes with people we'll probably never meet in person instead of making love to our wives or doing our jobs.
Does this demographic/psychographic description fit the average motorcycle rider?
I think not.
It would be excellent if some of us could meet in person on the bikes, though. Since a ride-in Hayabusa Owners Group Convention in Minneapolis is probable a non-starter, we could agree to have those of us who intend to attend a major bike event, such as Daytona Bike Week, meet at a certain place in Daytona, on our Busas, within a certain window of time.
I'm intending to stick my bike in a trailer (from Toronto) with a bunch of buddies who take their bikes to this "Motorcycle Mecca" every year. Excellent racing. Good down & dirty partying.
Anyone else going?
Even if only 4 or 5 of the currently registered 331 members of this Owner's Group connected, it would make for one interesting day of riding together in Florida! I know of a good alligator wrestling place in the Everglades we could ride out to. Just don't go flying off a corner into the weeds on the way out there or YOU'LL be the one wrestling the alligators.
If anyone likes the idea, I'll set up a forum and help people make the arrangements.
