What hanging out here has done to me

[BusaWhipped]

On the cusp of the 2008 Eureka Springs Meet and Greet, I got to thinking how far I've come since my first Hayabusa.org event, which was the 2006 Midwest Meet and Greet in Eureka Springs.  I did the Fall Bash at the Dragon the following week.

Here I am at that first event.  The Busa was nearly stock and my riding was....well I'm not sure I'd call it riding anymore.

Here are Luci (she didn't have a name back then) and I at that first event.

Jumping ahead to the Eureka Springs Meet and greet just 8 months later. Luci is "Luci" and I've been doing some practicing

Practice, practice, practice, and meeting up with the west coast guys Labor Day weekend 2007 at the Hayabusa.org midwest/west coast track day, and it actually looks like we know what we're doing.

I don't want to say I had less respect for the bike before I joined here, but I think It's more of a better Understanding of the bike, the sport, and my fellow riders.
