Photo's are of a skinny old me in '79 on my origional bike and then my latest plaything. |
That looks a really nice find Keefy-and Chris, don't even go there-we had THAT conversation last weekend at Donny. I was at Goodwood on Friday and all the old Yamaha's got my TZ juices flowing again-dangerous stuff nostalgia.
