Nice! Thanks for sharing!


I dunno what is going on with the YT links on this site but they no longer play within the post, showing some sort of an invalid link error I have to actually open a new tab and watch it on YT.
That is the only "crappy" thing.

Love the TL, tho heavy... it's a gas (but not a Gas-Gas). Gets 120mpg. Can go slow as a walk, or 60+mph for a quick run to grocery store.

Lady Yamaha (I have my mom's orginal purchase)
https://www.rideapart.com/features/2...-scooter-find/

Bought this gem (MR250) for $753 as a Year -Old Brand new off dealer floor. Superb for Cross Country racing and mtn fire roads. (I can't count the number of 'evading' I have done (using alleys / cemetaries / RR frontage / other popular short cuts.
https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mo...nda_mr250.html
I also have a MR175 (Green)

This guy was my "go-To" for original antics as a 16 YO. (AT1)
https://global.yamaha-motor.com/show...llection/at-1/

Prior to that I was Short tracking / dirt TT on my highly modified YL-1
https://www.oldbikemag.com.au/yamaha...ocket-rockets/

Later added the Yellow 250 Maico
https://dirtbikemagazine.com/1971-hu...s-cz-shootout/

And a 400WR Husky https://www.collectorsweekly.com/sto...00wr-resto-mod

I keep this gal around for pleasure riding, such as to my 50th HS reunion (XS2 - 650) I have several XS 650's and used to have a Kenny Roberts version for riding at Sturgis (when younger)

My BMW R1200RT. Some pictures of when I rode it from San Francisco to St. Louis and back — I went to STL for a 2-week business trip, and this time instead of flying I decided to ride there, and then ‘commute’ to the office each day from the hotel on my bike.

I’ma one-woman man so I only have one
bike at a time! :-)

There are some other pics of my bike too.

Thank you for sharing but you need to stop trying to fool people with that " I’ma one-woman man" nonsense when the link you shared opens page showing the first photo of you and 2 other ladies!!

I have two Iron Mistresses, both of them Japanese.

1. 2013 Honda CB1100. It does everything well. Not the fastest, but quick enough for me, not the most comfortable, but comfortable for about 90 minutes then I'll need a short walk and a bottle of fizzy water.
Runs, stops, turns great.


2. 2009 Yamaha V-Star 1300. It also does everything well. Also not the fastest, but quick enough for me, and it's great for a pillion rider with it's wide soft seat the saddle bags, and the padded sissy bar. It has a windshield which is great for trips and I like the V-twin rumble.

Photos please - or we will assume you have a very vivid imagination!

I do have a vivid imagination. I'm a writer, remember? I tried to post some pics in here, but couldn't get it done.

Really? It is not rocket science, man (if it was, I'd not have a single file on this site!).
Just make sure 2 things are within requirements based on file extension/type:
- Dimensions
- Size






PS. Yes, I vaguely remember, you are the author of a few cookbooks, right?

I use imgur. It’s a little clunky having to put a pic there and then grab the link, but years ago I used up my allotment for photos here. Imgur should keep them forever. (well…)
