Strange ride home tonight.
First up I get a glimpse of real class. A guy in his late 30's early 40's maybe sitting next to me at the lights on a mean looking black Hayabusa wearing a pinstipe suit, shirt with tie and what looked like a nice pair of Italian shoes. he looks over at me, says nice looking bike mate, lights go green and all I see is a distant Busa tailight. Awesome !!!!
Next I get a taste of confusion. 10 minutes into my ride, I was on the freeway and Crap...a flat tyre. Pulled over had a look and to my surprise, No flat tyre. WTF? . I jumped back on cruised it slow for a bit, and could swear my tyre was going flat. Pulled over again to check it out and found nothing wrong. For a good 20min after that it was like I was riding with a seriously underflated tyre. Don't know what it was.
Next was the best one. Stupidity !!!!. Still on the freeway, a cager to the side of me was texting on a mobile phone as I went passed. A few seconds later the cager had run off into the centre buffer zone of the freeway, tried to correct it by turning the wheel hard and fast, lost control, skidded sideways and ended up down the ditch with the car smashing into the protection railings, bouncing off and coming to a very sudden halt. Looked like a new car too. Dumbass !!!!!
It was an interesting ride home. Just thought I'd share it.

It sure was an amazing site to see. I've been cleaned up once already on the freeway from a cager not paying attention.

I was riding home from work last week when a really nice red busa came up behind me; turned off after about 7 miles. Made me nervous for some strange reason

It's the predator of the road. Most will shake in their boots.

OH OH. BB on a 'busa ...... scary thought!!
Will you keep the 650f? Inquiring minds want to know..
Most definately will keep the 650F. I absolutely love this bike. I have no intention of ever getting rid of it. Till the day I die, I will be the only owner my 650F will ever know.
