Jetted and fast, the YFZ450 is a kick in the pants. It's hard to keep off the throttle when there is some open space. Yes, I'm tearing the crap out of it but that's ok, it's a racing bike and it can be fixed. I think it goes so fast so quick that it's almost always too late to realize but not to worry because the brakes and suspension are solid and all you have to do is hang on for dear life.

We met in Valdez, AK at a seafood restaurant just before I got on the ferry to Juneau. We both had been fishing that day but I can guarantee that I smelled like an Alaskan man! I'm glad her allergies were acting up because I had not taken a shower in 5 days. We exchanged email addresses and continued on our adventures. When I arrived home 3 weeks later I found 2 emails from her, the first was - Hi, nice to meet you, the second was - Why haven't you emailed me.. So then there is this long story, then we got married and are living happily ever after.
