    Just tried to upload a few pics to my gallery, but got a message saying I'd exceeded my quota, so I'm posting a link to my pics on FLICKR. Figured it was time to share what my Maxim-X looked like. 8)
    The slide show button is just a couple lines under the shopping cart on the top right side.
    Hope you guys like em.

    Hey shnuffy, funny you should ask, I still have my original bill of sale from Inglis.
    I never throw anything (especially bike related) away.
    Now that I look at the bill I remember it was classed as an "Out of stock" sale. That means that the bike was still in the crate when I got it, but it was a deal where the bike was misplaced at Yamaha's warehouse in Japan.
    So I went in and made the deal in 86 and picked up the bike on April 25 87
    which was 25 years ago this past saturday. I always was bad for anniversaries, ask my wife!
    List price was $4649.00 (Canadian) but eneded up with it out the door (after discount) for $3575.60 which included a 10% off card for the first year.

    That is awesome! Is she still running well? Any surprises/stories after 25 years owning it?

    I'm glad (as I'm sure you are) that you still have it. My dad had a 1960-something Triumph in England that he majorly regrets selling (back in the 60's).

    Not running at present, but it's one of those back burner projects where I'll start doing a bit at a time. For now I'm happy to do my daily riding on this, 2004 1200 Bandit. This is a pic from when I rode it to Indy for the MotoGP the last couple of years;

    You're the first one (I can remember) that can say that...
