If you didn't get the book written by Bob, I just listed them on E-Bay. They are $40, and shipping is free if you have it shipped to the U.S. No international shipping. Look under seller merriamxs. Thanks, Karla Jones

As an XJ11 owner, I'll still get some enjoyment out of this book, correct? After all, it is for the most part the same bike/engine.Last edited by FSCGunslinger; 06-21-2008, 11:55 PM."I said I never had much use for [a pistol], never said I didn't know how to use one."

good book!
I am about 2/3 through my copy... very informative... I don't know how he remembered all those trips in such detail... he must have had a journal? I so wish I could ask him some questions, for example how he painted the Samsonite luggage...
PS he certainly pulls no punches in the book... his opinions come through loud and strong! Long live the XS1100!!Dr. Tim Walters
