YamaHead

Considering it's only an 80cc....it's probably more like a 16" front wheel.

Very Kool micro-MX'r....

I met Pete in 2003 when he took over the reigns of YOC....made it run a helluva lot better! Once he found a pic of me w/ my mullet, it was on!....I was hence forth known as the "RedNeck"...lol I think I was on about a half dozen different bike sites that he had his hand in. For years he gave me sh*t for looking like a redneck & accusing me of living in a trailer park....then in '06 I got a drafting job a 150+ miles away from where I was living....& low & behold I ended up in an RV park living in a trailer!...lol He was beside himself w/ laughter. After that summer of '06, I moved back home to Milwaukie (suburb south of Portland) & proceeded to carry on with a new-found perspective on life. I will NEVER forget the 1 time I got a phone call from him & hear his profound welsh accent...it meant alot @ the time. I then came to find out that my ancestors came from Wales to north America back in the 1600's. Through him & his bike forum savy, I've meet a lot of like minded friends from all over the world....all with 1 thing in common....2 Wheels! His "Matter Of Fact" 'tude will be sorely missed...& I truly hope he's Riding In Peace somewhere up in the heavenly's.

White Lilacs are popping right now....Purple ones...not so much this year...

'Berg smoker....

The Kentucky Kid....where it all started....

Another Flyin' Finn who put the Tuning Forks on the map...

Yep....can't begin to tell ya how much I'd love to ride this beast again.....but alas, gonna hand it off to my boy in 1 week...who actually was the last person to ride it.

The steering issue could be your steering head bearings could need some attention.... Thats how my XT sounds & feels!...an absolute Blast....especially railing down a road like this....

Ride In Peace my old mate....you've always been good to me....I'll never forget when you called me @ home some years ago....Peach of a Human!

Looks like a hub motor....Did you have to give much for it?

Also got a thing for '65 GTO's....

They all are kool....but my preference is the 1st 4 years of 'em....especially '67.

Same size as my boat....which reminds me, gotta get busy prepping it for some camping/fishing this summer. My Dad gave it to me before he & Mom moved to MN....it's the very same boat I caught my 1st fish from when I was 6 y/o.

Letting my dinner settle before indulging in some Tequila w/ Mrs. Hook tonight. Off to the dump in the morning to empty my wheelbarrow of a truck...the garden debris never ends this time of year! Then break out my last Yamaha...(pressure-washer) & blast the eBike, car & maybe even my poor truck. Weather is cooler, windy but clear-- so a Ride is in order.

My favorite Bow-Tie....
