Bikes I had part 2 Yamaha XS650

This was mine first XS650

It was a D from 1977

A couple of weeks ago I checked the registration,

and the guy who bought it from me 14 years ago, stil got it

This was mijn home made caferacer.

It had a 750cc kit from the USA

The kit was used on dirt track races.

It was really fast

Another beautiful caferacer I bought from a friend of mine

He was busy to change it with high handlebars

no (moto guzzi) lemans fearing and more

Didn't like that and bought the bike to change it back to caferacer

Special story about this XS2

found in a shed where they did restore engines of little ships

So this bike was fully covered with diesel oil during the years.
This was also my luck, because this was the result when tthe Yamaha was polished

This bike I bought because I liked the '70s style of it

It was an eyecatcher

This was a SE but I changed it in an early version of the seventies.

Except the wheels as you can see

But includng the metal sidepanels

So you can make them fit on SE frame

IS IT BETTER TO LIVE YOUR LIFE BACKWARDS

Have you even thought what happens when you would live backwards? Seems to me much more enjoyable. But read on.To begin you stand up from the dead, a spectacular beginning ... If you get yourself out the coffin by your family and best friends, who welcomes you and they all have a flower. Then you should do a year or 20 nice things whatever you want to do, gardening, occasionally a trip at half price, staying in bed whenever you want and check every month your pension paycheck. On a day there is suddenly a guy for your frontdoor with a golden watch. He also offers you a well-paid job. As the years go by, you also get more and more sense to work, you feel that your health is getting better, you can have cigarettes as many as you like, because your lungs are becoming cleaner. You can drink what you want, the hangovers are getting smaller. You loose your belly without doing something for it. In the beginning you have 1 time sex a year, but on the last at least 10 times a week. At a moment you have to go to school but you knows everything, so you don't have to study. And the last years of your life you can play in the childrensgarden, nagging and annoying, and you can eat candy as much as you like, because all your teeth you got, you loose anyway. Than a few months to a woman's breast, then waiting for 9 months and then vanishing in a big massive orgasm ...........;-)
