Jult saying Hi
« on: August 21, 2009, 01:58:59 PM »
Guess I never got around to saying Hi when I found this forum a couple of months ago.

I must request special dispensation for membership since my ride is not exactly a purebred SOHC4 or exactly a Honda for that matter.

A casual glance at my bike might lead one to believe it is a Yamaha XJ550 Maxim but that is not exactly accurate either.

You see these particular bikes are not known for having a really effective front braking system.  When I bought this bike the crud was thick enough that I didn't notice that someone had "upgraded" it with the front wheel, forks, and braking system from a Honda 750 thus creating the only Yamahonda in town. (OK, it's a small town)

I've found that the folks over at XJbikes.com have tolerated my presence without too much anguish and hope to find the same welcoming spirit here even though I won't have a lot to contribute in the way of technical expertise (unless you need help getting stopped).

Besides, I found your Humor section a lot more extensive than theirs.  I like that!
