Thousands of Yamaha's are stuck on the MV "Ever Given", the ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal last month. The Egyptian Government has seized the ship and it's cargo and won't let it go, demanding millions in fines. 

 

I and many of you are the fortunate few that were able to get a Tenere 700. Many of you are still waiting on your T7 to arrive and unfortunately, that wait may have just grown much longer. 

 

The Unicorn bike has become a miracle bike. As in it's a miracle if you can find one.

Delayed shipments, supply chain woes, and other setbacks challenge 2021's dealer supply.

 

I stopped by my local Yamaha dealer yesterday. They are the largest single line Yamaha dealer in the USA, and their showroom is half empty. Not many used bikes for sale either.  That has got to be tough for business. 

Lucky for us in the USA, there is no Suez Canal between Japan and California!
