A while ago (quite a while ago…) I received a little package in the mail.

Image

And this little guy poked his head out...

Image

Petey!

Image

Admittedly, an odd way to travel when you’re used to riding on a bike, unfortunately, the distance between my place and slimtech’s was a bit much so it was into the envelope for Petey. He showed up a little disoriented (sealed envelopes have that effect on many of us) so he’s been relaxing in the garage and brushing up on his pool playing skills. (But more on that at a later date…)

My Seca is in pieces and Petey is excited about helping put her back together. However, work and the holidays kind of got in the way of all that... Finally though, I had a free afternoon when it wasn’t cold and raining, so I backed out the trusty FJR and Petey tried it on for size.

Image

Yes, Petey, the FJR is a bit bigger than a Seca II.

Image

…and no, you can’t drive.

Image

We thought about going to the typical SoCal points of interest but I realized that the place Petey (being the Seca nut that he is) would really enjoy seeing would be this building:

Image

Yes, Petey, that’s Yamaha’s US headquarters! Home to the friendly folks that brought the Seca II to the US…

Image

Image

Wow, this is one big chunk of concrete!

Image

Image

And it says Yamaha right on the building in big red letters!

Image

Image

And where else would the corporate headquarters for Yamaha be but on Yamaha Way!

Image

Ok, Petey, the sun is going down and it’s time to head home…

Image

No, don't give me that look... We need to go.

Image

Next up, Petey goes Hollywood and decides to go under the knife for some, uh, enhancements… Stay tuned! :o
