Daytona Bike Week 2012

Well I see the 305 was actually the YM1 produced by Yamaha from 1964 to 1966. I thought they had a longer run with this one. So it could then have been the YD2 as that was around that time

The 305 had a short run and and 1964 is the first time I remember seeing one. I had a 1965 YDS-3. My room mate had a 63(?) YDS-2. The difference is the the 3 had oil injection and the 2 did not.

Some great stuff in those photos Carl.
What took my eye was the Amal GP carbs on that BSA Spitfire in post #17 the second photo.

You surely have sharp eyes. I saw the bike in person and did not notice that.

Carl: I never did get up there on Wednesday. I was going to ride up Saturday for the 200, but decided that riding back the 250 miles St. Patrick's Day, with all of the potential drunks, wasn't the smartest idea. So it looks as if I'll miss Bike Week this year - but maybe we can work out a trip to Biketoberfest.

That sounds like a plan. I am sorry you did not make it up there Wednesday.
