Caption Time!

We asked our Facebook fans to write captions for this Yamaha we spied at Trader Joe’s. Here are a few of our favorites.

September 19, 2014

It started out innocently enough, as a photo sent to me from a Trader Joe's parking lot by my wife. There, in one of the stalls, was an old two-stroke Yamaha enduro. A cool bike, for sure, with one small odd detail: a period-correct avocado green Samsonite suitcase firmly affixed as a top case. For fun, we posted this shot on the Cycle World Facebook page, asking for captions. More than 400 people responded, and the list below contains several of our favorites. Feel free to add your own captions here in the Comments section, or visit the Cycle World Facebook page to enjoy the frequently wry humor of so many others. And while you're there, don't forget to "like" Cycle World!

Our favorites, in no particular order:

"She may have taken the house, my 401K, and the Street Glide, but I still have my Yamaha, two changes of clothes, and my dignity...well, sort of. Hope this Motel 6 takes checks."

"Future KLR owner."
