Talking It's been Fun!!

Hey, just a short note to say goodbye and it's been fun. Stopped in to the local Suzuki dealer today to see what the big yearend sale was all about and ended up buying a new Busa. Still love my Train, but still had the need for speed from my old crotch rocket days! The Busa is just AWSOME. I know it is not everybodys cup of tea, but it was time for a change. Everybody have a great X-mas.

You went from the best cruiser to the best -- bar none -- sport bike. Be careful out there, and best of luck with your new ride!

Don't know why you're leaving, you're still on two wheels. I'd love to hear your review of the bike, best of luck with it. **And BE SAFE, that thing's a rocket!**

Word! I'm not gonna dump on you.... I have a crotch-rocket background too (still have an ol' 97 Suzuki TL1000 out in the shop). I wouldn't be caught dead with chicken strips on my tires a few years ago! I almost ground the floorboards off my Heritage when I first got it.

Be careful on that beast! Those things are stupid fast!
