    Sorry Peter and Wendy, read the first page or two , and the last bit. So are you guys just going back to one for the two of you, and a commuter for Peter?
    I'm still enjoying it. Just bought #3 today!

    Haven't spent much time on the back of ours, but I've already noticed a somewhat exagerated lean, an almost sidecaresque aproach makes for less effort.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    How Many people out there are feeling the same as us.
    I see it as part of the experience of motorcycling - to ride on a good surface with no cars one could just go to a track. Riding on the road will always mean there is that unpredictability that keeps one on their toes, it's just another thing that keeps life interesting

    Ride forever, rubber side down!
    Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.

    I haven't been on the back at all - i'm at the stage where I'll call a taxi before I get on the back of anything - just going on what co-pilot says. She found it tiring for the long haul, 'a real giggle' for the shorter ones.

    Mmmm! And at 6+x the price we got the MX5 for, a Spyder may have to wait a bit...

    One of those bikes you wish you'd bought new and kept, again.... Maybe I should hang on to the Boulevard after all...?

    We will have a bike for pete and i to go for a pootle every now and then but we don't see a need for a big bike like the busa. Pete is thinking of something like a bandit.

    Anyone want to buy a limited addition white busa

    i totally agree about the state of the roads, a section of road was re-sealed down my street 3 months ago, already it has de-laminated and huge pot holes are forming, but thats what you get when the government uses the lowest bidder. stupid government

    Strictly missionary then?

    Never mind swapping the Busa for a boat, THAT is REALLY boring!
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
