  • XS Eleven Heaven



    Karla Jones wrote me a couple days ago to let us know that she still has quite a few copies of XS 11 Heaven available for sale.

    For the newer members that haven't heard of Bob or his book, he was one of the original owners/dealers to help champion this great bike of ours.

    The book is a trip through many of his memories as an XS11 rider and enthusiast. Not only is it a great retelling of past trips but it also includes some valuable tech tips and advice on these great bikes.

    I'm sure everyone that has already purchased this wonderful book would agree that this is a must have for all the XSives out there.

    Karla is selling the books to XS11.com members for $25, shipping included, anywhere in the US. International orders will need to cover their own shipping but it should be minimal.

    For anyone interested, please email Karla at karlalynnjones@gmail.com.

      XS Eleven Heaven

      Nate,

      Bought the book a year or so ago. Read it, liked it, will probably read it again some day.

      Are there any items that she is trying to sell other than the book?

            Hi Karla hope you are well...I have seen a number of Bob's bikes at recent rallies and they all look fantastic. They all carry that aura of Bob and are a thrill to see. I can only imagine how the new owners and caretakers of Bob's bikes must feel. I still enjoy reading XS Eleven Heaven...
            Take care...

                          I bought my copy of "XS Eleven Heaven" from Karla a couple of years ago via ebay. She even numbered and signed the book, as well as wrote a little note inside the cover. The book is still listed on there by the same seller as when I bought mine: "merriamxs" , so I am assuming they are still being sold by Karla....and still the same great price too!

                          However, Maybe You could email her directly at the email address in the first post and buy direct, thus saving her the dreaded ebay fees!

                              I think Bruce is selling them now. I couldn't find them on ebay with a quick search, thanks for the link.
