  • but they weren't taken at the points where I was really getting some Xtreme angles!
    Last photo looks to be your pretty close to the "max" for an XS!?


    Hate it when you come to a stop and you can't pull your hands from the grips.......

    • Gettin' Xtreme on an XS!

      Hey Mike,

      Ask MartyA, or Bruce Gerkin, or several other XS East members who have followed me, they'll tell you about how I HAVE scraped my muffler on some fun right handers, and not hitting bumps! I like to LEAN!

      • Here is a few pics of my old load (if I did this right). I bought it new in spring 79. The 11's been the most reliable bike i've ever had, 164,000 and still running strong. It's been to all 50 states but 5 ( Hi. & AK. in the bag) and 7 Canadian provinces. I just found this site recently and it's great to see so many restoring and riding XS11's.

            • Thanks for the welcome and kind words. But on that turd thing, I believe it could be polished with the correct technique.

                  • Hey XMRGWX

                    I have seen your bike many times in many places My XS1100sf is ( The Black ) with the full size flag welcome to the site Check out North East Rally at the bottom.

                    If ya havent seen TC ride you would not think that he would ride like that with a 4inch oven front end and a bent frame The pitcher of him and Brent I am the next bike back on my 1200 Bandit they were not in my way and yes ( Sixty Six ) was leading on a Aprila.

                      • Bruce Gerken's The BLACK!

                        Here's a shot of Bruce Gerken's "The Black", an '80SG that was themed in the black style, not a true MNS, but in many ways prettier!
