The Guru's Majesty 290 Yamaha





It sure is pretty, and it's lean at a little less than one-hundred ninety
pounds. Sorry for the shitty pictures. We just had time enough to prop it against a tree and shoot a few pics. It has been a major thrash, built from scratch in about ten days. Nothing fit, nothing worked, and I mean nothing. Everything had to be fabricated or modified. We were literally wrenching on it until we closed the trailer doors and the Guru hit the road.

It is however the turning-est damn thing I've ever ridden, short of a current modern bike. And, that 290 big-bore Yamaha with a fly-wheel weight feels like it'd throw you right up the mountain just fine, thank you very much. But man, does it ever turn. Glory. I only got to cruise it a bit on a couple embankments though, can't wait to ride it in some sections proper.

I'd like to say Thanks to the Trialsrooster for his absolutely fabulous fab
skills!
