Default Took the Turbo for a Ride Last Night... *pics*

Rollin on the boost...
bangin the airshifter...
tire smokin...
smelling C-16...
Turbo spooling...
dumppipe...
It was great!


The good news is, that I did go for a ride last night on a Turbo.
The bad news is, it was not mine.
Regardless, it was fun and I greatly enjoyed it.
Being without my bike for more than 6 weeks has been a real bore.

If it was not for a few very genorous folks (Cliff & Johnny) allowing me to borrow thier bikes, I may have gone completely insane.

Thanks Guys!

Here's a few pics of the bike I rode last night... and no, these are not me in the pics

How did that bike compare to the busa?


Which do you like better?

I only rode it for 30 minutes or so and did not have the opportunity to really get a good feel for it.
It's plenty fast.

My knee-jerk reaction is I like the Busa better.
