Finally did it - the"rat" is sold & I've just about finished the Yamaha 900 Diversion I was restoring so it's touring time
  I'll still be perusing this site even though I no longer have a sohc4
If you're at the big rally at Gatton Qld in April & you see a bald, bearded derelict sneaking around amongst the hondas it'll be me

Oh, Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo
Deny thy Yamaha and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a HD B!tch.

English Lit and the works of the Great Bard were my first true loves.

Then my dad kicked my butt and told me to snap out of it, learn a skill, find a job and forge a career.

I did as I was told and it killed the romantic dreamer in me.
