My bike and I were made in the same year! That's one of the reasons I bought it.

Mitch and Old Biker, I attribute all to 24 years of complete sobriety. I am the happiest and most content of my entire life.

[olebiker]

Rover we have something else in common.

Another 21 year old here.

Damn I feel like a kid...but at least I can drink legally now!

Well, I am 18 yrs old. (at least I think I am) I can't say that I feel younger or older than I really am. What I can say is that I am a heck of a lot wiser and more mature after hanging out with Y'all for a year (yes I'm still a Texan) and spending these past couple of months up here at the USMMA. You guys and gals have had a really positive influence on a lot of people including myself.

In my 40's but being reminded of my age. Other day neighbours said it was nice to see me take my 8 year old out for a ride on the back of the beast. Made me remember that the first time I ever rode an eleven was in back '82 (81 special) when my neighbours were about 8 years old!!!

Close, about 218,750 but, at that amount, what's an extra mile or two Hmmmm... come to think of it, guess I don't have to feel so bad 'bout how she looks
...just as long as she still likes to ride !!!

[olebiker]

That is unreal. I doubt when these were made anyone thought that one would still be going after 350,000KMS.

I think that Yamaha suspected that they had created a monster that just would not self destruct and, what else could they do but be XSive ( ) and eliminate it???

After all, businesses won't stay in business long if the products they made lasted forever ! Therefore, they have to rely on their customers to either destroy them or tire of them (XSively unlikely ) so that they ultimately will have to replace them.

Either way, bad for them... good for us !
