Stybba

My retirement present to myself was a brand new Yamaha SR400 motorcycle named Stybba after the mountain pony of Rohan that was ridden by Meriadoc Brandybuck in the "Lord of the Rings".

While some folks say motorcycles are just toys and not practical, I think that the 60-70 mpg that the little single cylinder engine is supposed to get will prove to be more practical than driving to the store in my E350 van :)



Since my delivery of gravel for the driveway didn't arrive today, I did finally get around to installing the rear rack (which had to be ordered all the way from Japan).

I had to loosen the rear signals and let them dangle to get the clearance needed and even then it took some fiddling around to get it in place. Once everything was tightened up though it seems rock solid.
