Slowly working on getting the 1990 to run again - I'm old, I work very slowly...
Yes, the 1995 is one of the last...
Looking at the new BMW's the only one that looks interesting to me is the (forgets stupid model name
) 800cc...
My K75RT is the heaviest bike I've ever owned, can't imagine the bigger ones...
First bike was a Yamaha YL-1 (serial #8572, how come I can remember that - but not what day it is?) a 2 stroke (oil injection woo hoo) 97cc twin. Pistons looked like small coins, I could crank it over with my right hand. Blew all the Honda 90's out of the water... 72MPH flat out if I tucked in. Those were the days...
But I'm not 17 any more - actually 67... but still riding
Cheers, Lorne & Joanie
I remember the YL-1. Friend here just recently acquired a one owner one, from the original owner. Had a Yamaha YAS-1 [serial #13044........] similar 125cc oil injection 2 stroke twin......like the YL1 you could change a piston at the side of the road with a 10mm socket and a C spanner...........
As for remembering what day it is, that's not as important and still remembering what's a good day for taking the bike out.
