Some history of the Yamaha Motorcycle Company. No mention of FJ's or RD's which I grew up riding. Did show some of the 650 twins--no mention that the XS650 was their top selling model for a few years and saved the company.

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

Yeah and I probably had on platform shoes! That was about 1973.
