I brought home my 1981 Yamaha 650 twin today. The tank and covers are freshly painted, new dual exhaust, new seat, and a new small windshield. It looks & rides great. It's fun to be on a bike again, although I did see a piece of garbage tossed out a window in front of me, a couple of people who didn't realize that only one vehicle is allowed in the lane at a time and mine is also a vehicle, and the usual impatient SUV drivers who also terrorize regular cars, like the guy who tried to pass me on the right while I (we) was (were) making a left turn in busy traffic. An interesting thing about motorcycles is that every little thing that is problematic about driving a car is worse for a motorcycle. Proceed with caution everybody, and have a good time.
John Nasta p.s. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
