Thanks, I think. If I can't get the furnished mobile home, I'll get a hotel room nearby, like maybe the Holiday Inn.

I've been drooling over your bike. Too bad I'm too short to ride a 'busa without doing some serious lowering. Wait...it may be a good thing I can't.

Gotcha. You're put down to attend. May I suggest calling TWO & reserving the MH. Once we get more definites, you might be able to get a discount being with a group. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

No shit. It's not like riding the KX125 at stock height (36") It was light enough I could roll it to a tree stump, drag a milk crate over to it...something! And although it took a wee bit of cordination to get off the bike without it crashing down on top of me. I could do that too. It was kickstarting it that gave me so much hell.

I'd have to do some serious lowering to it. I'm not too fond of lowering my bikes. I refuse to use a handicap because I'm short.

As long as your knees dont buckle under the weight, you're golden! Promise.

I have ridden a Busa, that thing as a bitch at a standstill, but moving was like riding on air! Most comfy sport bike Ive ridden so far. Id not want one for "fun" trips like to the dragon as its just too damn big for me to comfortably throw around but for a commuter or tourer, HELL YEAH! Altho people did tease me about it, something like looking like a lil bird perched on the seat...

Im with ya on the lowering thing, no way in hell!

You're about my height and did well on it? What's your inseam? Now you do have me wondering if I can actually handle one!

Bird perched on a seat? That's better than being called a midget. I get laughed at when I stop because alot of times I only put my left foot down, which makes the bike appear to be sitting on the kickstand. There there's the backing up issue. I can only do it by pushing it from the side. That always gets a laugh too. I don't care. Like I told my old riding friend, "At least I ride, Beyotch!"
