Just thought that I should say hello.....
Been riding bikes since 1974 when I started on a moped at 16 and then worked me way up thru the sizes.
Learned that falling hurt on the little bikes and don't do it anymore.
Presently have a 1976 Yamaha RD400 - back in 76 this would be the equivalent to the R1 of today. :P
Also have a 99 Yamaha XJR1300 for me and the missus.......
