You have touched us and left us better for having known you - even if it was only briefly.

For grabbing the moment and living the day It's been way too early that you were taken away

What about the others ?

You didn't ask what we liked or not, you asked about Yamahas that 'had a dramatic impact on motorcycles to come'

XT500 ?

The others I've mentioned ?


:P :P :P

;D ;D ;D
