WOW! the busa is really a true sport tourer.

but isn't the seating position on the busa the same as RR bikes?

or did you just get used to it so you now you can endure riding it for a long periods of time?

You don't lean over the bars quite as much on a busa as on a gixxer. The busa is also a lot more stable and comfortable. I'm sure that fact that I've already ridden it over 14000 miles makes it a little easier for me.

My brother rode a goldwing and he was just as ready for a break as I was at about the same interval. Another interesting thing was that our low fuel lights would come on at the same time too. I got a little better mileage than he did though and he has a slightly larger tank.

Relsek that video is awesome - and I love the music choice! It made me feel nostalgic for something I've never experienced. :laughing:

If your offended, I'll delete the video.
Not offended at all, hence the smiley face in my post.

I am a musician though and to me the music shows the mood of the trip. Also, I guess you noticed the tin man in the field that we came across. I thought the music was just perfect. I also made key picture changes match changes in the music.

Thanks for all the interest guys, the whole reason I made the video and shared it was to take others on the ride with me and make it where they could feel like they were there too. I appreciate all the compliments.

Thanks for the idea Vector18, I now have my own putfile space and put the original there, just in case anyone was unable to download it.
