    "....me four bikes, two that run ... "

    Guess that makes us even then, Ray !! I have a SF parts bike and an F that I have not yet started on ... its in good shape and all there ... needs exhaust and some minor stuff.

    Strike me down if I ever cuss again at an 11 while workin' on it though. Today I put an exhaust manifold on my 98 Jeep Cherokee ... a marathon wrenching session. Ugghhh. Glad that one's over and done with.

      Lucky Dog!

      I've been lusting for a Midnite Special only slightly less time than I have a xs11! We had one go for $1500 here in South Bend in June. Found out about it and called while the eventual buyer was test riding it. Saw it about a week later, but haven't seen it since. Congrats Ray, it looks like a beauty!

        Congratulations, Ray, that is a nice bike!

        I looked up the serial prefix and it is jen-yoo-wine,
        not some cheap and tawdry imitation of a MNS!

        Now I want one...


        Regards,
