It was an awsome day and maybe, just maybe, I can love one more before the end of the year.

Wow, what a great ride Jim. Good to see you and Eeyore here on the forum.

Well I'm back again, just in time for the new year.

Hey Terry, great to see you! You've got that Yamaha looking fantastic. For a company that started out making musical instruments Yamaha has built some fantastic & unique bikes over the years.

Happy New Year everyone!  Here's hoping we all have days and days of fantastic riding weather in 2026.  Be safe guys and I look forward to see all your interesting adventures coming our way.

You will regret the bikes you DIDN'T buy much more than the ones you DID!!!  It's never too late to start a new adventure!

I forgot the obvious, the V-Max looks really good. The polished side covers improve the look!

No last hoorah ride in 2025 for me here in icy/snowy/salted/22°F southern NH this year like I have been able to get in during some of the past years, this year has been colder and more cold and snow than in a lot of years, more like when I was growing up here in the 60s. On Monday we had the storm that flooded California come through and dumped lots of rain that could have washed the salt away if the temperature wasn't freezing the rain at the ground covering everything in ice, so the highway departments were out in force spreading salt and salt sand mix all day into the evening as the temperature went from 33°F during the heavy rain back down to the low 20s to make a skating rink overnight. But all in all it was a good year of riding here so I won't complain.
Happy New Year to you all. Ride safe and be Blessed. I look forward to riding again when spring arrives back here and getting in the mix with the 26 in 2026 thread.
In the meantime I will spend time in the shop working on the project CB750s I have.
