    We have lots up here in summer, they group up at the local motorcycle shop on sundays like us before a run, we meet them at some of the caffe"s , they"re like us, But theres a lot more room on the roads up here, so not many hotheads in cars or bikes, The mountain roads the cyclists ride up here are unbelievable , respect is due,, Met germans last year they fly over and ride the west coast , they say its great as its virtualy traffic free, with great scenery,

    Hi taff " missed this first time around,, the big XS eh " Yams biggest offering beck then, I mind of them, Other manufactures were ahead of Yamaha performance wise at that time,,, I think the LC350 still battling the bigger 4 strokes at that time, as the XS 750 was a let down,,
