It was very handy that they left that there, I was bursting

And it's colour matched too..

Calm down Dave, it's 208 kg kerbweight which is only a couple more than the 660 tenerlady single, plenty of folks have managed to go places on those and in the US at least the old KLR had a big following. It's a cheap workhorse bike, probably run forever on not much fuel or maintenance . I owned the...

Yep , well and truly hijacked, poor OP probably wondering why they bothered... That's a very fair point. I like the idea that I'm leaving a legacy behind for students of stupidity for many years to come. I've always wanted a place in the anals of time. Is that the same as arseholes of all time ?

I't always so gratifying to know that you guys have a bulging library of shots ready at hand to remind me of my failures... Well when one is in the presence of such a master of stupidity it only feels right that one should record it for posterity/case studies/a warning to others... etc etc. :lol:

Me and my old FJ. multi coloured FJ.jpg Love the colours. Do you remember the cover of Which Bike magazine - about 2004 - where good old Chris Dabbs ragged an FJ1100 knee down ? Back then Yamaha marketed the FJ as a pure sports bike, up against the GPZ900R etc. It didn't take long for buyers to rea...

Out for a dirty bimble in the winter sunshine today.
