And the Saga begins.
It started out like this. We rode almost 1000 miles over Memorial day weekend her on her 07 GSXR750 and me on my RC51. Now don't get me wrong I love that bike but the riding position is well just think Spanish Inquistion.
After our return I remarked that I would like to get something easier to travel on in the future 2 or 3 years. Well a few weeks ago she bought me an 04 Hayabusa, one owner pretty much bone stock(slip on exhaust only) never raced never wrecked. Great bike I love everything about it and really have no desire to change or hot rod it( I allready have a hotrod the RC51) BUT,,,
Well I'm not sure how things got started, but they got started so now the plan is to take the Hayabusa and Marie to Gonzalez Texas in October and see if she can get into the 200 mph Club.
We pretty much have a basic plan layed out and are starting to put things into place to make it happen.
Step #1 was 150mph and lets see if she's still interested. No sweat!
Step #2 was 185mph(indicated) on the GSXR750 she was STILL interested! Which brought us to
Step #3 Time to RIDE the Heavy Bus. She has ridden the Busa quit a bit but never in anger. Well we went out to our Top Secret Speed testing Facility(so Top Secret that the DPS doesn't even know where it is! ) side by side at a 150mph me on her GSXR and her on the Heavy Bus I gave her the go ahead to fire the afterburners. Well she took off and rode it to an INDICATED 186mph and stayed there for 2 miles.
Afterward she remarked about hom much smoother it was at speed and how good the air coverage seemed. At this point she is still in the game and her attitude is GO! GO! GO!
Next up will be running over a total length thats the same as the Texas Mile. If she's still interested after running all the way up and back down in 1.5 miles then we will start the power mods. We allready have had 2 Sponsors step up to help, one has donated an $1800 Brocks racing kit and the other looks to be helping with entry fees!
