  1. I think I must have a special bike here, the mirror is magical, it looks in the future and tells me where I'll be going. I knew Yamaha was way ahead of their time.

  2. Yeah, make sure you keep the "Flux Capacitor" fully charged. Wouldn't want to get trapped in the future ;P

  3. UH OH my son wants to get his MC license. I think I'm doomed. This might actually be a good starter bike for him. Although I think he still wants a scooter

  4. I had one of those. I'm looking for another. This time I want to turn it into a cafe racer.

  5. Same here, although I might go the street track route with it, since it's front end is a bit long.
