    Would you like to bet on that? I've got a friend that is extremely fast in the mtns or on the track - on a Busa. It really is all about the rider.

    ^^this is true. I used to see a pretty fast black one up at Helen all the time...and sometimes the dude would be hauling-ass riding two-up (not that I think thats proper to do, but it was still fast up there.)
    Its mostly about the rider.
    Still, a 'busa wouldnt be my first choice for a mountain whip...

    If it was a big guy on the bike ... it was probably Ark. He is very fast, but very humble.

    I'd like to see that.

    I've only seen one Busa at a trackday. It was red. He got lapped by most in the Novice group within the 15 min. sessions. Thats pretty sad.

    Does he ever go to JenningsGP?

    His Busa is black, he goes to Jennings enough that the manager will tell you his name if you ask him who is fast on a Busa. :-)
    Ark runs in the expert group, and is very quick for that group also. Last year, he rode his track bike there mostly (an R6). He is very approachable. If you see him, go say hi. I plan to try to hit a few trackdays with him again this coming up season. I'll post when we are going.

    Sounds good.

    Never seen the black busa there, but I think I know who you are talking about.

    Thats pretty damn respectable. What kind of times is he getting with the Busa at Jennings?
