    As soon as I get home from work, I'll post a pic of my ugly green machine.
    Maybe some of you guys can come up with a catchy name for it.

        At Ft Leavenworth National Cemetary 9/4/11



        The bikes taking a break at a small lake at the Banned Camp Rally this summer



        Just because I like this spot



        Headed north to Minnesota and the Lost Rally 2010. Somewhere in NW Missouri I think.



        Humble beginnings. What the okieSPECIAL looked like when I first got him put together.



        Ok, there's some pics......

                            Just some pictures from a contest we have going over on .org (the mention is only because it's the reason the pictures got taken).

                            The challenge for this stage of the contest was to get a picture of your bike with the largest ______. I happen to live fairly close to the largest sewing needle in the world. So, these are them.

                            First, the bike, I didn't notice the special effects from the sun when I took the picture, but it's not too bad.


                            Now, the sewing needle and you can see the bike at the bottom of it.

                              Howdy All,

                              I just got finished polishing her up after she's been sleeping for the past few years. I had to rebuild the carbs and I still need some final touches to the rear brake caliper; it's grabbing too much. I need to fix the horn button and I think I got the speedo working (I haven't ridden her yet). The speedo needle was bouncing and not showing more than about 20 mph. I also need to replace the tires; the current ones are cracked and weathered. If I remember, the XS11E has tubes. Right?

                              What you think of my license plate? I just got it a few months ago. It's a California veteran's plate and I was much surprised that XS11E was available! Semper Fi!

                              Next is a couple more pictures of the Sleeping Beauty.
