      That Busa is great looking bike.
      Spent some time on a '99 and was surprised at how well it handled. Certainly not nimble but not the wallowing behemoth i was expecting.

        I took my wife for a ride on a Busa once. She told me to stop and let her off!!!! We worked it out.

        Here's the harley tire mentioned in my post above. I assume the only shop they could find was hd and that was what was available. Desperate times I guess. It got him home.

            They can be nimble. My 2005 has 1" jack-up dogbones on the rear, plus a 190/55 tire (vs the OEM 190/50)... sticking the bike on its nose really wakes up the steering.

                I took a ride of sorts, ok it technically doesn't count as my bike was actually strapped into the truck bed.

                I just wanted to show you all where I originated. This is warren county Indiana state hwy 63. Sort of a tunnel of trees like Dave (Redman) has in Michigan.

                  Unless you're sitting on the bike up in the bed of your truck while someone else drives, it doesn't count. ;-)

                    Did you need to be back home by 3pm ??

                    oh, that was Thursday.

                        I knew I was violating the rules as I often do with the bike, but geez, I didn't expect to get called out on it.

                          Here I am again in my adopted 2nd home of the Arkansas Ozarks. Damn, I love this place. My apologies for the bad selfie. I suck at taking them, but then again, maybe it's just not a photogenic subject matter.

                            for selfie, like to see you, the bike, the road and/or scenery. Right!!
                            Nice scenery there. So that is photogenic.

                            Just need to see more of the bike, ha!

                              Exceptionally nice day for October in Michigan.
                              Near 60degF at 7am, so had a little ride down past the beach before sunrise, then out for a group breakfast, then went for little ride with Mr Carl Wingsconson's challange in mind (fall color that matches bike color).
                              THen home because am getting behind on the leaf raking endeavor. After about an hour of leaf raking ... er, 3/4th hour, um, well, half hour, and near 70degF ... bahhh...., going for a ride. Was out for about hour and half.
