Well, this is me and that is my shiny new motorcycle (new to me that is - the bike is over 15 years old). It is a 1985 Yamaha XJ700 Maxim. If you're not interested in motorcycles in general and XJ series motorcycles in particular than this section of my website might not be of much interest to you. There are photos of my cross-country motorcycle trip though.

The XJ700 Maxim features an air-cooled inline 4 cylinder 4 stroke engine and a shaft-drive transmission. If you'd like to see more photos of my bike and learn about some of the equipment, modifications, repairs, and general experiences I've had with it, then proceed to Page 2.
