    Well just bought my 83 650 Maxim today. Its been 20+ years since I've ridden....I'm back :eek: Had a couple Virago's back in the day(750-920) always a Yammi fan.
    What I've read(lurked) on this sight is a wealth of info that will come in handy in the future, you people seem helpful with knucklehead questions like I will have.
    Heres me bike

    I thinkI've figured out why those Canuck bikes look so good....... I think Kilometers are easier on the bike than Miles :lol:

    .............could be true.

    Thanks all! When I looked at it she started with a slight touch...but then again stored in the guys office...but it sounded real tight and I drove it around the shop and everything sounded great,,,of course real world may be different but he showed me a pile of reciepts for tuneups and oil changes ect.....I think I'm ok for a while anyways......
    Now the helmet/jacket ect funds are being tested.....
    As I say this we are expecting a 30-50 cm snow storm......just shoot me :evil:

    Is the PO going to let you keep storing it in his office during the winters? That would be sweet!

    Nope, it's just that we only get 6 and a half days a year to ride them. :lol:

    Sweet ride, Spunner!
