What's up?

Hello, everyone. Just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year. I'm sure most of you remember me from TWF. I know, it's been a while. I still have the '07 Busa that I bought September 27th of '07. She now has over 37,000 miles on her and still going strong. A little over 84,000 miles (over 47,000 miles in less than two years on the R1)now under my belt in just 3 years and 2 months of riding. Still ride even when the temperature's in the 20's. Anyways, just wanted to say hi.

Longest ride I've done on the Busa. Took me almost 15 hours.

One of the pictures taken when I did 838 miles in less than 15 hours. Just wanted to share.

Man I know how that feels... I did a 904 mile ride in just over 14 hrs this summer...

almost wished someone would have got me up after 3 or 4 hrs of sleep and rode that last 96 miles to get the iron butt... but

what can ya do...

Welcome!

last one.

Ebbs, that ride didn't bother me at all. I wasn't shooting for Iron Butt when I did that ride. I was just riding around enjoying a perfect day. This bike is so comfy on long rides. Corbin seat made a huge difference.

well it took a toll on me

I was riding from Northern AR to the Florida Panhandle... in the middle of hurricane Ike. I loved it though... every minute of it...

I didn't have a corbin seat... but I did have a Air Hawk seat pad and that fucker is worth it's weight in gold...
