Re: My most humble apologies
You are most kind and Attila is not one to pout and hold grudges and so you are completely forgiven for not making him part of your dirty dozen and yes, I do have something one might call Super Special in the works at Advanced Sleeves in Ohio however it's a little trickier than an off the shelf Wiseco kit which Attila already has. I completely understand the diffulculty in obtaining quality photographs because I'm terrible when it comes to taking good pictures. Since I obtained my digital camera and started downloading the pictures into my computer I seem to be getting better at it and taking lot's of pictures of things when you have it apart is beneficial for future projects. I have your 08 calendar and it's very good with 12 very nice Elevens, of course I never met an Eleven I didn't like.Originally posted by Wildkat
to you and Attila... However, now that I have a really nice picture... I will most certainly make certain he makes the cut next year.
The problems I had with this year's calendar were:
1.) getting started too late...
and 2.) I couldn't enough good pictures of great looking bikes...
(the bikes were nice... the pictures weren't great)
You, your knowledge and your bike... all deserve to have a MAJOR place in the calendar....
Will Attila forgive me?
More CC's? Are you going with the 1196 big bore now? or doing something even more Special to him?81 Black "1179" Xcessively trick Super Special. One owner (me).Comment

Just made it through all the pics.
Alot of nyce rides!!! (someone from Australia spell "tire" the aussie way)
It's cool to see some other styles of the XS, I have never seen before. Actually I have only seen one other XS, since I bought mine, it was a Special. I have a 81' H, no pics.
Modifications are great! If it has a valve stem cap from a XS, its a XS to me! Just my $0.02.Flatlander
