Hello from Afghanistan!

#1 Unread post by Ow3ns »

Hey everybody. My name is Dillon. I am 22 years old and currently deployed to Afghanistan. I have been riding for a few years now. I had a 2006 GSXR 600, that was lost in a wreck. I just put a deposit on the 2013 white Suzuki Hayabusa. I will be home this month from overseas and the day I get back I am going to pick it up. The busa has always been a dream bike and now I am making it a reality. I am hoping to learn alot of things from the riders on this site.

Hi Dillion,

Welcome to our community! Like the Armed Forces you'll find this one friendly and close-nit with lots of riders that help each other out, so if you have any questions at all, just ask away. :D

The 'Busa is a great bike, in fact quite a legend, it was the first big production bike to be able to break the 300km/h barrier, so do watch out for tickets! lol. The white color scheme is my favorite that is offered. Great choice!

Thanks for the welcome to the forum. I am hoping to make friends and get lots of good information. @totalmotorcycle, I agree with the white color scheme. I have always liked the white hayabusa. Its a very clean look.

Hello Dillon and welcome to the forum.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
