Granya Gap - Ward P - 09-10-2010
What a top road
Weather is perfect today, and had some errands to run in Albury, so took the 'bus over the Granya Gap. Two things came to mind, What a top road, and doesn't the 'busa do it effortlessly.
Heaps of bikes about, and
couldn't help but show off a little along the river road as I rounded up a Beema who was struggling on a tight line around a lefthand sweeper. This is where the old busa is still in a class of her own. Had heaps of vision ahead, so rolled up behind, and as he braked and tightenned his line, I simply rolled the old girl on around the outside, top gear, nice and smooth, turned in my seat and gave him a little wave on the way past. One handed, the busa just laydown, rock solid and by the time we'd come out he was only a dot in the mirrors.
(sometimes you just have to
)There might be a lot of faster bikes, and more expensive bikes on the road, but I reckon the ol'busa is all class, and still commands plenty of respect.
Was supposed to be "thumbs up" not "thumbs down"!!!!

With that in mind though, it has to be said that the ole Busa can be a bit of a danger to other motorcyclists. Because when I was riding home from work on Tuesday of last week, some poor bugger on a little Honda CBR125 coming the other way damn near crashed at a roundabout as he craned his neck to take in the awesome sight of a Busa just moseying along. It almost feels cruel for me to go too near some riders because I know they will get jealous.
