Who is the oldest Busa rider on this site??

[masterblaster]

dam I got the Busa to be the old guy, not like my Harley crew, now I am wondering if a GSXR1k? Will that get me to old guy status? Chronologically 48, mentally 20 something.

Here is a pic of me early in the year. Let's see some more pics of you guys. Just got back from a ride with her.

63 now, 60 when I went from cb750K honda (had it since 1976) to Busa. Figured I better try it now before I'm too old. So far its the best decision I ever made. Always wanted a fast car, but didn't have the cash.

51 here.My rides are not so often.....One or two per month in average.All I need is a couple of miles on her ...and some good mood and I can evenly compete youngters with spotbikes.I guess my second(everyday) bike...a silverwing scooter spoiled me and i need more often rides with my busa

To all you guys that are 60+.....I doff my helmet to you!!! I sometimes wonder (even at the tender age of 43) at what point in my life will I have to give this game away?!? It's very re-assuring to know that there are members here that make me realise that as long as my body is still flexible enough to swing my leg over the tail-piece, I'll be (hopefully) still having fun well into my "golden years"!!

Well done to all of our senior & more experienced busa riders here .....you are an incredible inspiration!!!

I bought mine in feb of 08, And i was 65. I still am.

.....HAHA! So, my age will stay the same from now on? I like that idea a lot.

Oh yeah, the Busa is definately a time machine! It'll blow the wheels right off the Delorean from "Back to the Future".

Thanks! You would be surprised at how many over 60 still do track days. My son, GSXtacy, will be 42 next month,

51 here but revert back to early 20's every time I swing a leg over this work of mechanical art, whats not to love......

Only 40 more posts and this thread will be as old numerically as the guys on TeamGixxer

Hi Folks,

I am 68 riding a fully worked gen one, I quite often hit the 300 plus just to check if I am still alive

GSX1 N.Z.

Old thread, comes back 3 years later and now we are all a bit older.

All I know, is the older I get, the better I was.

 

[Got-Busa?]

Fred doesn't post on here much but he's in his 70's and still breaking/setting records at Bonneville on his BUSA's..

 

[jellyrug]

62 here and a buddy and I still ride away from the young guys sometimes, but then they complained about old guys kicking their ass and we both got tested. He doped, I do not so my tests were clean, while he got a positive. Now he has been banned by USA cycling for two years and I have to race alone with the kids.

I'm second from the left.

I have to admit though, the Busa still scares the crap out of me in 1st gear. I have no idea how these 400hp guys use all that power.

Dang ! Amode is 72 !! I think Tufbusa is around that. you guys make me feel young at 53!
