i am a fishing instructor at a day camp for kids.ive been doing this for about 5 yrs now and i dont know when i will look for anything else. this job is just too fun and i get paid good too.its about 10 miles from tha house so i get really good rides in just about everyday when i leave work. i work right off of Kanan so its just a nice ride to the beach.

I'm a Network Engineer for CSC (Computer Science Corp). Basically all I do is design solutions for  networks and make sure they run right. Fun job when not dealing with corporate politics  

 

[dezzy7]

Self employed, I own a leadership management and training company. I have a couple of major local contracts, but for the most part I travel all over designing and doing seminars, as well as conducting workshops for various groups and organizations. Pretty much shape my own schedule--

 

[terrahawk]

I work for a Joinery firm (Timber Engineering) making Trussed rafters (holds up the roof)

 

[bandit1200]

I'm a satelite comm engineer, doing all kinds of service with 2 way sat links. (like internet and tv services). And also I do RF systems on cruiseships (RCCl). So the travelling is OK.

I am a US Marine so no I don't wear a suit and tie to work.  I have been in the Marines for the past 18 years.  I am recently back from Pakistan.  I served there with the 15th MEU.  I was aboard the USS Dubuque.  I am an Artilleryman.  That about covers my adult life.

Nice to meet a fellow Redleg on the board. I'm Army. Part of the 10th Mountain (LI). Been in for about 8 years. In case you don't know what a Redleg is, I am the KING OF BATTLE, Artillery!!!

Great benefits though 12 paid sick days ( to ride my busa) 12 paid vacation days ( to ride my busa ) 12 Holidays ( well they have a winter in Maine but most of them are to ( ride my busa ) LOL

 

[race24x]

PS I also own my ownb business R & S Computer Consultants I sell service upgrade etc install networks just about anything to do with computers If you all need anything let me know special discounts for Hayabusa owners (extra if you own a ZX12) LOL

 

[cyclecop]

Geez, no wonder I can't afford a Busa...Almost everyone of you is in charge of some kind of Company or director of something, or OWN your own buisness..Holy Cow...Even the Marines have been in the Service for a long time, so i'll assume they are really up there in the E or O Grades..

Me, I'm simple...Got outta the Army in 90 as an E-4 (Low Pay Grade)..worked as a cop most of my life until an unfortunate night changed my life forever recently and now I'm a Federal Contract Security Officer at a Federal Court in Downtown OKC..

Thanks for all the info, I now know that if I truly want a Busa, i'll have to start up a buisness and be sucessful...lol

 

[kawafaski]

Well i guess i am the first slot tech to own a busa..maybe not..been fixin' slots for 25 years at the same hotel casino..
i walked in with my helmet in 76,got an interview with the boss..then they said..see you at 3:45 am on monday..and by the way this is a monday though friday job..cool..riding on weekends is it!!!  now fifty..owned a BUS for i month on friday.
Baddest ride ever.. blue silver 01.
ps..in a way it's just to cool..we who ride these things....for now..how long will it be before something that accelerates in the NINES every time you twist it up between 8k--11k will be available to the masses..then again most riders are afraid of the wonderful power of the HAYABUSA..pure love!!!!!!

I’m a support engineer working on telecommunication equipment (PBX & Voice Mail). I have an office setup at home and wait for people to call or page me, then dial into their system and fix the problems. Flexible hours allow me to take rides in the afternoon, if I get paged I have the technician change out a card and call him back when I get home.

I’m also in the Air National Guard, a Flight Engineer on C-130s.

I am a sayashi..............a Whaaaaaaaaaa??????

I make scabbards for Japanese swords (Antique) and yes ............you can make a living doing this. I've been in the business some 17 years working with many of the best craftsmen in the US. Japan and Canada.
 Bought a 2001 used. As if it wasn't fast enough, the previous owner added a few niceties. This thing is a rush.  Not easy keeping it under eighty.  Almost feels like your walking at less than 60.  Never really get out of third hehe.  I ride when the urge hits...........often.  I plan on doing a transcontinental with it in July.  Pa. to Seattle and then back again.
I generally spend 2-4 hours a day (30-60 miles) riding my road bicycle getting into shape for the trip. Then put in a ride on the busa in the evening.   I'm pretty excited and also a little nervous too.  

Had my first incident last weekend.  Got into it a little early and ............well.  Lets just say it cost me $1500 to make all traces of my miscalculation disappear.  Very embarrassing....

Note to self..............For Christ sake ................take it easy.

Got to admit it, I’m a adrenalin junky. The Busa is (power) the ultimate – thrill/ danger = 100%.
