Does Yamaha not know which side the attenaes are supposed to be on? <em>Thanks for the comment Rod. You are absolutely correct that the Ventures in the photos (shot by our friends in the south) have the Antennae switched. I cannot tell you why they may have done that. Maybe we have to give them "artistic licence?" I will pass the (good natured) ribbing along and we'll try to get it right for 2011.
