hopz Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Most of you know I sold the R1200RT, and I was emotionally distressed about that but my time has come. It's OK. I'm getting better. Today I did have a slip though... I bought a Yamaha. I know it's odd and not like me but those of you are my closest friends know. This is a 6 string FD01S... yup, Guitar... Oh well the time comes for all of us.... 1 4 Link to comment

Ride safe and let us know how she handles! 1 Link to comment
taylor1 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yes , you really can farkle that rig up ! Legal , elephant ivory nut and saddle , fossilized woolly mammoth bridge pins, and for strings I would recommend Elixir strings. They are a bit more than others, but really hold their sound for quite a while. Enjoy 1 Link to comment

My wife wants me to take up the bagpipes though. Cost for a new kit would be similar. The time IS coming. Link to comment
