*shudder*
the very name "Hyabusa" makes my sphincter tighten!!
Went to a funeral of a good mate - my bike was off the road so I went Pillion another guys Hyabusa. Getting to the funeral was ok - 50ish mph down a dual carriageway.
On the way back was a different story. along another dual carriageway to head to a "burger van" for coffee and food - he opened it up (a little).
f*ck me - crapped meself constantly. when he accelerated I could feel meself rolling of the back of the bike, feet coming off the pegs. arms were locked tight against the rear grab handle.
with my fazer, it pulls until it cant pull anymore (FZS600). The Busa didnt seem to have a limit - it kept pulling and pulling. One of the saving graces is that my visor misted up so I couldnt see a fecking thing.
when we got off, the guy admitted that he held back a bit since the roads were damp :O
I will NEVER EVER go pillion on a sports bike again!!
But I did thank him for teaching me that adrenaline was brown!!

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming - WOO HOO! What a Ride!"
