55 yesterday, riding 40 yrs and have had about 20 bikes.
First love was a '66 Yamaha 60, then Yam 305. Later Kaw 500 triple, a couple of XS11's and a Maxim X.
Now have 85 Max (bought new by 68 yo gentleman), 72 & 79 Yam 650, 81 Yam XT500, 75 Kaw Z1 900, 90 Venture Royale, 01 FZ1. I love the XS2, but mostly ride the Max and am sure looking forward to the new one.
I recall riding the DT400 out around Alpine when stationed in San Diego (76-77) and fxstein's video really moved me. Back then, I couldn't have imagined such a machine as the new
.
5o next year,but you woulnd't know it,I'm just a big kid with cash!!
Can't wait to test ride the new beast,as long as it brakes better than my 85 Max,I'll be sold.
