      It ain't a '71 (being at least several years newer), 'sitting a while' is a gross understatement, and I think the owner has been smoking 'Vashon VaVoom' a bit too much....

        That's a fake post. I've seen that picture before. I think it's from somewhere in Asia.

          Hi Giggity,
          if it's a fake pic or if there really is a tree growing round the bike I dunno but that pic has been on the net for a while and was featured in the YAM650 group 2008 Calendar.

              Now that makes me think of that commercial...."Man, I could have had a V8."
