    My 82 Seca 650 is the same age as my wife. I'm seven years older. :)

    Nope, my XJ was made in 82, and I got here in 86. That's alright though, I kind of prefer older women :lol:

    Mine was built the year before I graduated high school (I'm a 65 model) . There was a Yamaha dealership near where i lived and i can still remember seeing the Maxim and Seca on the showroom floor and looking at them until I was basically kicked out, since I wasn't able to buy one then. Dang I can still remember looking at those and wanting one, never really thought I'd have one though. Funny how things work out......

    Yes dammit... I had just left my job as an RN and was starting Chiropractic School when my bikes were made. I like that mine are from that year but would be happy if I were younger than my bike...

    My sweet little baby has got me by 6 years. Although, she does run the streets like a child in the playground!

    My X is 26 yrs. old and I'm now......what was the question????
    Oh yeh, now I remember, I'm 55 now so that makes me.........28 yrs. older than my bike.
    Now, how many have owned their bikes since Day 1?
    Mine was still in the crate in the back of Inglis Cycles when I got mine. They had a red one on display on the floor and the blue one (the best one) was still waiting to be assembled.

    Not my XJs, but my Norton. I saw it in the crate when I bought it; all the miles are mine.

    The tail-piece of my Seca 750 says "Class Of '81" , which is when I graduated high school.

    Dude, you're not old enough to be hearing talking motorcycles!

    So, does your bike 'say' anything else out of it's tailpeice? :)

    My Seca's one year older than me. All of the more successful relationships in my life have been with older women...coincidence? I think not...
