    Just joined tonight (I guess it was yesterday already) I'm the proud new owner of a 1975 RS100B. It runs like a champ but has a few electrical demons right now. I just wanted to do the usual "Hello!" to the new forum I'm not legal yet so I've been cruising around the cemeteries near my house. I'm picking up parts and pieces now getting her road legal so I can insure it. So I'll have questions eventually (especially considering I can't get my tail light working), but for now this is just me saying HI!

    Sorry been away for a while on the old banger. Little cruise around Europe. Spain, France, UK, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Andorra, oh nearly forgot Liechtenstein. 9137kms in 5weeks, 400litres of juice. Trouble is my 14month old YP400 has now done 31000kms. Bloody usless these scooters you know. Thinking of writing a letter to Yamaha, Dear Yamaha my moto makes a funny noise when I get it over 2500m above sea level.
