I'm old enough to know better and too young to resist. Lets just say I have you 49 year old kids beat.

 

[MET]

Neat Supersport!! Now I feel much younger, it is nice to be a kid sometimes, which I am sure you do when riding.

 

[snake-eyes]

Im good time 17 and proud of it!!! Call me crazy, but i own a busa!!!

 

[MET]

Hi crazy!!

 

[supersport]

You bet I do, Ninja Eater.  I keep telling everyone it is never too late to have a happy childhood.

As I mentioned I'm 41 - but theres a guy here whos 60 and is a real kneedragger. He rides a Honda 900 RR and runs circles around me. Ofcourse I catch him on the straights but he's got my respect, oh and his bike just turn over 100K miles!

Hawaii,
Never to old. I told my 2 sons 17 & 22 that when I am 101 they can place me on a bike and open the throttle full stop. I may need an air shifter by then.

Hey Super,
Thanks for the nod. I was starting to think at 47 I might only be able do a few years on the Busa. You OLDER GUYS - (Ninja, Kneb) make me feel better (just kidding). (Superbikeschool in June - a little nervous)

Kemyl,

I am glad that we can make you feel better at our expence.

Just remember everyday riding is a Superbikeschool. Having the extra school is a fantastic idea. Everyone should do it every few years or so.

37 here but I still act 27 except in my office. Can't stand immaturity in an office setting.

 

[wolfe]

24 here
and to markbrian inssurance here in alberta is just stupid as soon as you go over 1000 cc's

 

[spliffius]

I'm 16 but i'm big for my age (6ft), i have a red 2000 busa. Spent all my money though, so I don't bother insuring it.

 

[gtm2]

I'm 41 going on 24. Love my Busa but here in Hong Kong I don't have many long straights to get her up to speed. And now the rainy season is coming. Busas and heavy rain don't mix very well/

 

[captain]

hey gtm2 are you also known as Peter?

 

[bwilken]

Well, I guess I'm flirting with the median age (of life?), and close to it for Busa owners - turned 40 last August. Busa being a mid-life crisis sort of thing??? Maybe, but been riding 25+ years, so can't use that as an excuse

. Feel older a lot of the time, but feel VERY happy when cracking the throttle on the County Blacktop!!! Incidentally, first ride to work of the year today - 30 miles one way, 36 degrees. Yah, a bit chilly, but s'posed to be >60 this afternoon, so had to do it. Did dress for the occassion (Ins. Carhartt coveralls!!)
