    ... but not the only Yamaha



    We had over 130 bikes today. A pretty hot day, but lots of fun to see the different bikes and people that came out for the cause.

    Excellent turnout & great looking bike!! Congrats on getting a large and varied group! Hey, did you talk with the guy with the purple TX500? I'm pretty sure that it's the same bike for sale in up SE Pa. He's had it on CL for a few weeks now if it's the same bike. Sad no Kaw triples in attendance that I saw. I have some friends in up state NY that might have gone on their H2's so I was looking close at the video....glad you have a good time! That's pretty cool premise for a ride...but even after riding 40+ years, I've never done a DG rideout.

    Why did Dave bring a ladder to music class?
    So he could reach the high notes!

    How can you tell when the stage is level? When Dave, the banjo player, is drooling out of both corners of the mouth

    apologies to @dkavanagh - but this stuff happens in the hangout lounge.... diversions, tangents, off-topic meanderings and of course bacon!

    How many lead guitarist does it take to change a light bulb?

    Eleven - One to change the light bulb and ten to stand around and say; "I could do that better".
