APRIL 24, 2007

RoadLoK Affiliate Mike Brink and I (The Chief) spent the weekend of April 27 at the Annual ‘Busa Bash, at Deals Gap, NC. The weather was ideal and the ride was beyond any expectations, being that it was our first time there. Brink was sporting his Suzuki TL1000 and my scoot of choice was my Yamaha YZF 600R. Although my 600 couldn’t compare to the ‘Busa or TL, it truly held its own weaving through the 318 curves of the Dragon. Quick and light, the 600 is a good ride. Riding on the Cherohala Skyway which is more open to speed, Brink and the ‘Busa crew waited patiently for me at the end.
The ‘Busa Bash --as it has been titled --is an annual get-together by the members of Hayabusa.org. This group of riders, both male and female alike, are a great bunch of folks. The care and respect that they hold for each other is paramount. One quick example of the caring nature that they hold toward each other involved a mishap by one of the orgs administrators. MCMustang (Sean) had the misfortune of crashing, soon after arriving for the bash, which sent him off to the local hospital and sent his prized possession, “Bessie” to the “too messed up to ride” category. While he was at the Emergency Room, the ‘Busa gang grabbed up Bessie and began a complete rebuild, making her road worthy once again. MC was able to ride her a few more times before the bash came to a close.
The ‘Busa Bash was a totally enjoyable experience for Brink and myself and we are both waiting patiently for next year's event!
