Open Show n' Tell 2016

I bought this exact bike when I was in the navy right after boot camp. No money down and next to no payment ($60 maybe?) for decades lol. The old sailor special haha.

Dude in my class in navy had a 1987 Yamaha crotch rocket 1000, not sure which it was and anyway he rigged his head lights so he could turn them off. Law was chasing him down Seminole BLVD in Orlando and he ran a light and hit a little yugo type box car in the passenger door killing both the driver and passenger, teen sisters, and of course my classmate. The bike went completely though both car doors as well as most of his body. His head, still in helmet was embedded in the roof. Sold mine right after.

I looked online for an old archived article from Orlando Sentinel and couldn't find it. There has to be a copy of that story somewhere. Might have been 1986? The picture is awful.

Yeah, lol, I knew that was coming, but those little ninjas were stupid fast for 600s but those Yamadogs were just stupid crazy fast.

I'd ride with you rubes except the steering is on the wrong side! The tongue sticking out is a nice touch. We could fix it up into a kiss/gene Simmons car.
