Headed home about 6:00 am, Norman Oklahoma, it's about 50 degrees. Due to the temperature I'm wearing my leathers, gloves, and a glow in the dark skeleton neoprene face mask. The chrome was cleaned the day before and the red LED lights were reflecting beautifully. I'm minding my own business when this car pulls up next to me, almost on the center line. I'm feeling a little crowded but the light turns green and I just let it go. Now I get to the next light and this car crosses the line and crowds me, I'm thinking someone is about to get it......when this lady rolls down the window and says " sorry but my son saw you and just had to say hi, he thinks your ghost rider, beautiful bike by the way." Needless to say all was forgiven I wave to the little boy, and in my best ghost rider voice tell him to mind his mom, I then rev the engine and take off. Yea I love this bike.. It's a Yamaha.

Don't you just love kids reactions to motorcycles?Everyday as I'm headed down my street all the kids in the neighborhood that are out playing will go out of their way to wave at me as I pass. The mom's too. It's pretty cool.

On Halloween I got a wave from this killer looking brunette dressed in a skimpy little costume and the guy she was with did not look happy.

Quote from: Capt_Zoom on Dec 01, 2012, 06:40:01 pm the guy was going to say anything or just eye rape my wife's bike.That's a new one to me. I'm gonna have to use that one. Went to the store Saturday night. I left my LEDs on while I was in the store, 'cause I wasn't going to be long (thanks Dan, for that idea). First I'm getting a few stares as I pull in, then when I turn the bike off and the LEDs stay on I get one guy doing a double-take. Then as I'm riding through the parking lot this little girl (maybe 13 or so) is staring at the engine LEDs and her jaw drops as she stares with wide eyes. She never looked at the rest of the bike or me; just stared in astonishment at the lights. Felt good.

Some of the best pianos around are Yamaha. My wife Plays one.

Yamaha is the worlds largest musical instrument company. I actually started in the 1880 making pianos and organs to sell to the western world. During WWII they turned to manufacturing weaponry for the war effort. After the war they went back to making musical instruments and used the weaponry manufacturing equipment to make motorcycles. Then eventually boradened their horizons and gave us the Raider.
