    1500 Miles this Summer - Thanks XS11.com!

    Just wanted to give a thanks to everyone who makes this site what it is. Just passed 1500 miles on my '79F this summer and I couldn't have done it without the help of this site.

    When I bought this bike it had no seat, no exhaust, no carbs, a rusty dented tank, and looked like this:



    1500 miles and a whole like of work later she's still running strong. Who would guess that a '79 Yamaha would be more reliable and still kick more a$$ than a lot of modern bikes. Thanks everyone!

    78 E - 2to1 exhaust, dynatek coils, special headlight [SOLD!]
    79 F - gas tank refurb, headgasket change, straight pipes, late model carbs, virago lowering shocks, special headlight and gauges, TC fuse block, GSXR-1100 carbs (WIP)

        Now go take it for a ride! My last trip was more than 1500 miles just to get home. lol.
        Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

        You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
