Hi Folks,

I used to have an R75/5, but I sold it about 10 years ago, thinking that I'd get something smaller and with better gas mileage.  So I started riding a Kawi 250 Ninja.  Great little nimble machine.  

But I missed the old girl.  So I recently got a 1979 R65 with only 20,000 km's on it.  Drives kind of like a tank in town, but at least I can now change the spark plugs without having to remove the gas tank.   :)

The Winnie avatar tipped you. Didn't we already meet with your earlier "sport bars" first post?

Good catch on Winnie.  I've been on miata.net for about 5 years with that avatar and no one had ever mentioned it.
