This is TRUE!!!
I'd ask if there was an award for that...
but not blowing up the motor, and still being able to ride it like nothing ever happened is award enough!
So now, I've prepared a little speech...
"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my friends... who stood with me in the hour of my greatest need....
And lastly, I'd like to thank, all the little people @ Yamaha... who designed & engineered an unbelievably tough motorcycle when they built the 11...who had the ability to see down the future, and could see there'd be a man who'd own one of these great bikes one day, but would trust there friend to tear it apart for repairs, and that same man would bolt the oil pump back together again w/o Locktite... So they said...'We gotta make this engine just a bit tougher... just to help him out, or he'll blow it up and make us look bad'..."
Thank you Yamaha!

There’s something about going riding with your friends, a feeling of freedom, a feeling of joy that really can’t be put into words.
It can only be fully shared by someone who’s done it.......... on any sundayComment
