Hi guys,

Figured it was about time I posted some pics of my new ride and maybe some of my old.

Before I was riding a 1982 Yamaha XJ 650 RJ. She had 80K and had been recently been rebuilt. I loved that machine. She took me from my current location (Victoria, B.C., Canada) down to California going the long way down the coast. A brilliantly scenic ride, thought I'd share a few pics of that.

Leaving Victoria on the ferry

Astoria bridge, had an amazing experience going over this on the way back - fog as thick as soup.

Got lost in the forest and turned up in dunes. Dont actually know where this was (somewhere in Oregon?), but it was an amazing contrast to the coolness of the coast.

Carnage!

Arriving in southern Oregon where I stayed for a while. Just before the trip rolled over.

Too many pictures but those are some of the good ones from the trip down there.

Heres a picture of the Seca before she left --

Who wouldnt buy it? Right?

Now, onto the real show -- heres my new K75.

After I had spent the day washing, scrubbing and polishing (past owner let her sit for a few months and was awfully dirty when I picked her up):

Outside my favourite cafe.

Cheers boyos!

Both bikes look great. Nice K75.

But very impressive that you put 86,000+ miles on the Seca. Those are/were nice bikes.

Thanks for the pictures.
