    Was working on the wife’s Santa Fe yesterday and had to stop by the hardware store. Pulled up and parked where I always park was a beautiful FJ1200 and R1 next to it. I parked and the guy with the R1 said “Holy crap 2 classic Yamaha sport bikes!”
    I laughed and he asked if I was with the FJ and I told him I’d never seen it before. Then the owner cane out and said “Yamaha heaven”. Was cool to chat with the two of them and that FJ was gorgeous.

    A whole bunch of crap at work related to the downfall of the newspaper industry and the imminent demise of our paper in particular. So at lunch just now I took a fifteen minute ride on Brother Seca and I feel greatly refreshed and I’m sure my blood pressure dropped 20 points. If they marketed these things as healthcare devices, I could get a prescription and have insurance pay for the bike.

    After a Long road of replacing the Starter Clutch :eek: Just added the 2nd to the Last cover to my Engine. So nice to see it in 1 Piece, and not scattered about in a horror of parts... Can't wait to hear it roar into life again...

    Walked by my bike this morning to my cage and drove to work. :(
    Southern Oregon Medford to be exact is completely engulfed in smoke! Visibility is 3/4 of a mile and when you are breathing you can taste the ash from the fires.
    Really sucks although on a positive note it is mother natures way of cleansing her self.
    Natural order of life :confused:
    Temps running into triple digits for the next few days as well.
