1979 Yamaha 650 special. It was bone stock except the PO had put a rear tire that barely fit on it.  I painted it bright yellow, put drag bars on it, and drove it everywhere. I had no idea how cool the bike realy was, but I loved it.  One of my favorite memories on that bike was from the same summer I bought it. A friend and I were out for a ride (him on an 750 magna).  We hit a strait stretch and I tucked up and gave her some juice. I had her topped out at about 150kph. Laughing cause I lost him in my mirrors, i thought I was in the clear. I look over and he is right beside me, with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. He gives me the "not bad" nod , and proceeds to blow past me. Damn that was iritating.....
