1990 Yamaha Radian 600

First bike and one of the great loves of my life.
After riding on the back of my brother's Honda CBR 1000, I decided I wanted to learn to ride. I had no prior experience and in my 40's, I took the MSF's class last summer and got my license in mid July. By August I found the Radian in the want ad digest and turns out it was right in my own hometown.

I took one test ride and loved it. Totally stock, unmodified and in super condition. The only thing I did to it was to "girlify" it a bit with matching vinyl reflective decals on my helmet and fenders.

Can't wait for warm days and clear roads...so many great country roads here in the Adirondacks!
