    Seems to specialize in the XS1100's . Has alot of high performance stuff that might be of interest.

          Might sound stupid, but no. I just found them out. Seems to be quite the place. I think that sometime this summer, when I have the time, I'll probably take a trip down there to check things out. It's only about a 5 hr ride.

              Bob Jones, owner of Merriam Cycles used to be a regular member of our group back in the Yahoo Groups days. Don't see him much anymore. He is a wealth of knowlege about the XS's though, and his products and staff are great. I have dealt with them many times.

                          UPDATE: Website no more!

                          Regrettably Bob Jones passed away this year, and his website and services are no longer available!

                                  I'm surprised that he didn't have anyone to keep the business/flame going. Aside from the obvious, I'm bummed that site isn't up anymore. I loved going to his site and dreaming......

                                                      Merriam XS has a store on ebay. I beleive it is overseed by his Wife Karla Jones aka "Kark" Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's where i bought XS11 Heaven earlier this year. Read it in two days couldn't put it down.
