So my name is Kevin and I just picked this little gem up from a Harley Dealer (in LaCrosse WI!) I guess they needed room for the ‘21 models and needed to get old Yaimi outta there! Offered $500 - they said yes.....with a docking fee of $100. So 6 out the door, $14.95 for the U-Haul bike trailer, couple bucks in gas for the 16 hour out and back to Michigan. On my first ride I got the pleasure of riding her while she rolled over to 100000.00. I  did a quick look up in gratitude for individual that wrote all the oil change intervals on masking tap on the underside of the rt side cover. Did 300 to shake it out then another. until I could feel all the good vibrations and some of the bad, then a two up ride along Lake Michigan on Easter. Couple little things I’ll get to right away: new progressives (just arrived!)and rebuild rear brake caliber w/new pads. Last is my cute little oil leak by the kickstand. Has good tires, and halfway decent body. I think I’ll get another 100k outta her no prob!! BTW - if you know of anyone that left a beautiful Yamaha at a Harley dealer in LaCrosse let them know she’s running great and thanks for such good care‼️
 

BTW- In My first year of recovery from alcohol addiction I bought  one in 30 pieces, put it back together, road  3000 miles on it within a week Promptly fixed a few more things and back together again.Painted it nice and blue. Rode it for a while and eventually sold. Here I am 17 years later. Feels like a dream....sounds like a dream....handles-well....like dream. heck it
might even be a dream!! 
 

Been reading hours of forums here to refresh my memory banks. Thank you all for taking the time to keep this thing alive and kicking!!

Hi everybody!  I just bought a 93 Royale with 62000 miles Saturday and promptly put 1000 miles on her while doing 90 all day with zero problems.  I can’t wait to put another 60 on her with the the riders in this forum, retired Navy with time on my hands, I wanted to thank the community  for being around otherwise I’d probably of past her up, I guess I’ll name her Ray!

Welcome to the group, you're in the right spot. Thank you for your service brother, did 6 years in Uncle Sam's yacht club myself.
