Hello from Torquay.

Post by Busa Bro »

:D. Hello Chaps.
Just joined.
Looking for rideouts and laughs.

Abit about me......
Living in Torquay.
Three brothers, all used to ride. 👍
Although eldest brother passed a couple of years ago. Me and Glenn still do.

Got 3 bikes..... Dirt, classic and street.

Classic doesn't run...... Think carbs needing rebuild or clean.

Dirt isn't used................ Bought with plans for TET and laning. Then some virus came along. Haven't been motivated, be good to meet a few mates to get back into it. 👍

Street is total awesome........ Gen2 Hayabusa. I know Busa's are known for the headline top speeds But it also loves finding the good A and B roads.

Like idea of getting upto Scotland and the NC500.

So that's me. Hope to meet some of you soon.

Welcome, I only live in Newton Abbot so not far from you, do a bit of laning, the odd track day and a bit of road riding so probably see you around. Cheers

Karl, you might like to come out to play next Sunday and meet some of the gang. It would be nice to have another Busa along:-

Hi Karl
Welcome to the forum. Hope that you enjoy it here. As you will have seen from the above we are a friendly bunch and there is quite a bit going on here. You will notice that there are ride outs posted most weeks (keep an eye on the ride out section / Facebook page or PM me your mobile number to be added to the Whatsapp broadcast group). Several of us enjoy track days and have many booked up so if you wanted to join us then more then welcome so your not going alone and when Covid is not about then would think that you meet up to start watching Moto GP will start again. Also we have a lot of technical people in the group so if you do have mechanical problems post them up and sure somebody will point you in the right direction.

Enjoy

You will be fine I'm usually the one that falls off in the lanes or on track =)) both good fun though, just keep an eye out for the muddy rides same as the track days, if you just want to go out for a short bimble though feel free to give me a message. Cheers
