      Sent you a visitor message for the Maxim, Gordon !
      1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors )
      1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
      1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
      1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
      1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

      Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

          Dang, how about someone out in the west like COLORADO that wants to get rid of some XS’s? Sold my pristine 80SG a few years ago and haven’t seen one worth a lick since for sale. Getting the itch for another...

            Did you transpose the year on the first bike listed? I don't think I have ever seen a 1987 Standard.

                3Phase (Scott): I wonder how your post is made at 11:05 PM, but it is still 10:09 PM in Michigan?

                  Oh my, it was nice... probably even worth a plane ticket for a guy to fly out from the West Coast to ride it for a rally... how many bikes would a guy come out and do that with if they weren’t sure it would probably do the trick LOL?

                    Click on your User icon and select User Settings from the drop menu.
                    At the bottom of he page you can set your local time zone.
                    Mine's set to (GMT -8) Pacific Time (US and Canada) and it says that message was posted at 8:05 PM which is wrong,

                    it was 7:05 PM so it looks like the Daylight Savings Autodetect setting is borked.

                      It was worth the trip and I wish I'd bought it because that was a sweet bike!


                      Edit: Toggled Daylight Savings to Off and the time is correct; back to AutoDetect and it's ahead 1 hour. Go figure.

                        Maybe I should drive to the guy's house I sold it to and see if he still lives there...

                          There's a thought. Hopefully he didn't do like I did when I first bought Columbo and put over 50K on it in less than a year....

                            I checked my setting and found it was adjusted to GMT-5,...which is Eastern Time zone, which is correct for me. But them my subject post was labeled one hour later than I made it. Yup, auto-DST is NG.
