I must concur with Evans. And yes they make really good stereo equipment also.

3 tuning forks FTW!! ;)

If I'm honest, my Kaw H2 has been the most reliable smoker I've owned. :shock: 8-)

Agreed. I kinda like my XS650 café bike. Sometimes it's hard to choose :D LOL
Oh, and my Yamaha MX bike is outrageous...

That XS looks fantastic, probably runs great, too. I have, and have had groups of Yamaha road race bikes, and street bikes, including one of the most infamous ones, XS750 triple. I really like my 1979 SR500 Thumper, triple disk brakes, nice, quiet exhaust, big carb, big bore, stroker. Neat street/canyon carver. Lots of two strokes too, singles, twins, dirt, street.

I have a nice Yamaha electronic piano, as well as an FM tuner and a DT100. I may have an FZ-07 one of these days. One of my favorite Dragon bikes is Tim's RZ. I won't part with my H2 while I'm alive though.

I hear that. I have finally gotten my H1 running pretty well and it is a thrill every time I throw a leg over it. Especially with your gorgeous stainless steel pipes Jim.

My modified Yamaha XV750 is one of the most fun bikes I own. Stock Hitachi carbs are crap, once you get rid of them it's all good. Well designed and solid motor.
