I hadnt rode for a couple of weeks before the wedding.
We didnt take a honeymoon yet, actually we should have started harvest the day before the wedding, so I was very busy.
The next day (saturday) we had a big party with over 400ppl at mom and dads which is 1 mile west of my place down a backroad, so i rode the 500, and the wife and kid rode the z50 to it.
Then the sunday we cleaned up the yard and went for a ride in the evening.
Then i was stuck between the shop and the farm for the next month and only got to "check fields" on it til the middle of september.

really it looks like a high cap the way it flares out from the seat.

i have a 90 model converted to 1997 plastics but after seeing yours i think i'm going to get an 88 tank and shrouds
