My apologies....
I should also have introduced myself.

I have been lurking in the backgroud here for some time, admiring forum members rides, trying to learn 'proper english' and picking up nuggets of information.

I started on 2T's back in the late 70's. My first ride was a '79 Daytona Special. Other than a few Harley's I am a dyed in the wool Yamaha rider.

The 90 RZ is my favourite ride. Something about riding a slow bike fast being more fun than riding a fast bike slow...
The Harley is for the wife and I. It's been one of the best bikes I have ever owned. Trouble free and comfortable on 500+ mile rides.
The EXUP is my dream bike. I wanted one way back when but couldn't afford it. Now I can so... I consider myself fortunate to own what I feel is one of the best looking (best colour combination too. No offense to other owners!) and most ground breaking superbikes. I can just sit and stare at if for hours and hours on end.

:welcome: to the site Lee. :nod:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

:paranoid:
I have to admit I threw that in knowing it would elicit at minimum a couple of remarks. :D
I do wish to apologize for the damn pic loading up so large! In after thought it seems almost an affront to the very nature of this forum.... won't happen again. :unibrow:

The EXUP and me feel honoured. (We're assuming you don't mean the Harley :D )

Seriously beautiful bikes though eh.
Something about the styling of certain bikes that's timeless. I think to some degree we've lost that in the rush towards mechanical perfection.
If I had the means, I'd have one hanging in the living rooom with a couple of well placed light to highlight it...

Thanks to all for your kind words and for the general atmosphere of this site.
