It was a glorious day yesterday and seems to be almost as good today, so the motorbike season is well and firmly open now. The amazing thing was that when I uncovered the Tricker and fired it up for the first time, it started without a single hiccup – just like the winter break never happened. Almost as amazing was that I hadn’t forgotten how to ride the bike, so it was a wonderful first trip of the spring.

I also mounted the new package rack. At first I thought I have to paint it black or it will stick out too much, but it actually fits in really nicely, which figures because it was made for the Tricker anyway. The rack is not made by Yamaha directly, but by a Japanese company called YS Gear. The product leaflet is here (in Japanese), I don’t know if it can be ordered online but your local Yamaha dealer can get it for you.
