I"ve had my 1975 650 since new as a gift from my dad and at age 50 I"m still in love with her and still riding the same bike. Still completely stock and original (except for a more comfortable seat). Feels good to watch people walk by a $$$ Harley and ask about the Yamaha. Hard to be a lone wolf in a area of V twins so I'm glad to be in the company of brothers. I"ve evesdropped on the forum for months and am amazed at the amount of knowledge you fellows have and share. Looking forward to the first online organization I wanted to join.

Welcome to the site. That's an amazingly long ownership of one bike. You have the addiction real bad Smile . We love stock bikes here, but I can't say it too loud, or the chopper and bobber guys will be all over us.

I'm a western hillbilly dude now, but spent most of my life in flatland Ontario.

Welcome! What a wonderful gift your father gave you and you've obviously shown your appreciation for it. Make sure to post some pictures!
