Glad to be of service mates .......Any fan of RUSH is ok in my book :wink: & Axl.....interesting you mention AC/DC in the same sentence..... I recall having 4th row tickets to see RUSH & AC/DC together, back in the late 70's.......but then 2 weeks before the show, Bon Scott died! :shock: .....so the show got cancelled :cry: That woulda been 1 Helluva show 8)

A T-Cat would be a fitting ride wouldn't it

pmsl Sounds like racing has Gone To the Dogs in your neck of the woods

Just a bit of FYI Monty :wink: .....believe me, Im NOT tryin' to convert anybody

Interesting notes regarding that RoadStar Warrior...... 1) Only cruiser with a full Aluminum frame 8) 2) Last years NHRA Pro-Street Cruiser class Champion :tu 3) 1st Yamaha (I think) to have a Belt drive :? 4) R1 derived fork & front brakes 8) Last year when the Hardley V-Rod came out, Cycle World did a full Cruiser shoot-out article with the V-Rod up against all 4 metric Cruisers......& for the 1st time in the history of that Mag......Hardley actually won in all aspects :shock: .....but the only bike that could come close & that actually handles Better than all the cruisers tested, was the.........RoadStar Warrior 8) I've thrown a leg over one before in the showroom of a local dealer.......Gotta say: Damn Comfortable Bike! 8)

Here's another one of the band back in the Early Days....... Appearantly Geddy Lee is a Die-Hard with his Mullet......as evident of this more recent pic....... I've seen these guys 3 different times in concert & I gotta say that they make ALOT of quality noise for just 3 guys :tu Check it out for yourselves......http://www.rush.com

Now I really don't have anything against Pete's James Dean hairdoo :wink: But, for me, the mullet thing started about 25 years ago when I 1st heard RUSH on the radio.....been a fan ever since. Here's one of "The Professor" back in the day...... & this is what he looks like today :shock: ...... Gotta hand it to Neil Peart.......after 30 years, he's still twirlin' the sticks 8) I've listened to these guys for over 25 years, & have yet to get tired of 'em 8) .......but listening doesn't even scratch the surface, compared to seeing 'em LIVE.....Peart is a Phenominal Drummer & lyricist :tu He's also an avid Motorcyclist 8) .......rides a Beemer......& a couple of years ago, he did a 55,000 mile tour of North America :shock: , trying to find some purpose in life after his wife & daughter were killed :cry: ....appearantly it worked as he has since wrote a book & Rush is now doing a 30 yr. Anniversary tour :wink:

Yeah...sounds like something Mamola used to do :roll:

That musta been a sight!

I seem to recall a friend of mine once, calling that Dentally Retarded

I used to own one!....a '77 model.......IMO....Yamaha's version of the Brit Twin :wink: Also the bike responsible for getting Kenny Roberts' Flat-Track career off the ground 8) Killer Mid-range....great for street use.........But TBH, the vibes @ speed are enough to rattle your teeth out! I think If Yamaha relaunched this bike, they should put a counter-balancer shaft in it....like my old XS400R Seca 8)

What happens when you have: 1) nothing to do 2) a sharp knife 3) a large lime 4) a patient cat 5) too much tequila :drunk 6) and it's (Yank)football season? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Don't get me going there Alex........I can't stand the EPA* :evil: ......those are the same bastards that charge us more money to test our vehicles, that already have the life choked outta them from the factory :roll: .......I'm the type that they'd really like to bust.......I De-Smog all my rides :twisted: & love operating 2-strokes whenever I get the chance 8) :wink: *= Enviromental Protection Agency :roll:

Thanx monty .....but don't you mean Hardley-Ableson :?: ..... .....as in Hardly Able to be a motorbike

Just make sure she's @ least outta arm's reach when ya tell her :wink:

Sorta like trying to put out a fire with a can of petrol, eh?

Not sure about Europe?.....But it's definitely an '05 US model :wink:

Indeed it does! :wink: 8)

Out side of the dodgy gearbox probs, I've heard nothing but good things about 'em Alan :wink: ......they look all-day comfy in the ergo dept. 8) .....& I do like the exhaust note of a big twin :wink:

Learning something from this experience Darren, is the most important thing.......It'll definitely make a better rider outta ya :wink:

Old School Technology :wink:

A bit of luck on your side, eh Twisty? :wink: Glad to hear you're OK.......& you'll probably be back in the saddle before you know it 8)

Those old triple's are kinda unique........yet quite problematic.....especially with the electrics :roll:

That's because most Tin-Box Jockies don't have a clue what it's like to deal with traffic on 2-wheels :roll:

If I was going to buy a Yamaha Cruiser, this would be the BadBoy that I'd buy 8) :wink: ...... Although, I think the 1st thing I'd do to it, would be to lose that Bazooka-Sized exhaust can :roll:
