Helped me to keep my sanity.
Still have it, not long ago rode it to work 12 miles away, 55 mph wide open. People ask how the ride was, I told them it was like the scooter ride in
Dumb and Dumber.

In high school a friend had the Honda CB250 and I had the Yamaha 200 Electric. His Honda had a 4 cycle engine and the Yamaha 200 had a two cycle engine, my bike could run away from his without even trying. I had him on HP too. I sold it back in 1978 to apply the money to a Triumph TR2A sports car.
