Hi there, I have been visiting the sight for a few months and thought I would drop in and say hi. I bought a 77 Yamaha xs750 triple back in march and had grand dreams of what she would become. The bike was pretty perfect after a new battery and a tank of gas, but I was really struggling to ride it due to the size. I took a motorcycle training class and thought that maybe if I just got the hang of it on something smaller (they teach on 250s) that I would then feel better about my own. But I still just couldn't do it and I didn't really want to lower it.
Anyway, I tossed it up on CL for sale or trade and found a swapper, we even traded and now I have a 81 Honda CM400 to tinker with. I have already gotten past all of the neigh sayers who tell stories about how I will one day want more power and more bike...idiots. I want a bike I can ride, and I am a little girly girl. So here they are the Ex and the Current.
Oh and I live in MN and only have a few short months of riding before the winter tear apart begins.
