Which owner are YOU

[jimboreeno]

I was just looking at XMRGWX's post in the photos thread -

Here is a few pics of my old load (if I did this right). I bought it new in spring 79.

I wondered how many 1-owner bikes are out there??

[mason79]

po put around 52,000 miles on it touring with his wife, and parked it for 10 years.

Oringinal..........Hmmmm..........guess that qualifies as a minority, and old.

[DiverRay]

All I have of my "original" is a few OLD pics. Daily Ride has been through who knows what, and my winter project I'm the 3rd or 4th owner.
Wish I still had my first, SN 000254...

[HobbyMan]

I votoed for my dad, he has a SN here but he is away on buisness. I need to be able to vote twice.

[BLUEJEEPLAB]

All I know is that I am at least the third...

[Czekus21]

I'm pretty sure that I'm the 3rd or 4th ouner of MIYAMI.

[Pat Kelly]

I'm 2nd owner of my E and unknwn on my LG.
I can't enter 2 entries.

Well,

I voted as Original, even though it had a PO of 2 years, but was in Japan, NEVER ridden on the roadway, just around the back yard to keep it from seizing up while he was waiting to be transferred back to the US. Had only 15 miles on it when I got it, and since "I" was the one to break it in, I consider myself the Original owner. Kinda like when they drive cars from ship to dealer and such, just moving around sales lot mileage, not actual road mileage!

How many people can say they actually got their bike in it's HOMELAND of JAPAN, and brought it back? I know, they weren't made there but in the States, but was shipped there by the Navy Exchange system.

i have 3 whole xs 11s and 2 parts bikes
1 of my bikes, i bought brand new in 1978
imagine a 19 year old kid with a bike like that
that year all the cycle mags said it was the fastest that year
and it was.

I'm the 3rd owner of my daily rider. The 1st & 2nd owners had it less than 18 months and put 7690 on the clock before the odometer quit working after #2 owner dumped it. Both PO let the bike slide out from under them on the same highway pretty close in the same place going to work. Both stopped riding after their fall. Got it for a great price.

3rd owner for the Midnight Special I'm starting to restore and 4th, 5th or 6th on my others.

[The Lorax]

I couldn't begin to guess how many owners my beastie has had...I'm guessing at least one had more than one as mine appears to be a compilation of a standard and a special

[Incubus]

How many men did Succubus know before she found me? If there is a way to know, I don't want to find it out. She's with me now, and she isn't going anywhere.

Third owner of the Beast ('80G) with 48,000 on the clock when I bought her. Third owner of the Dresser ('81G)with 13.700 miles and I'd have to check with Marty A on PO's on the Mangler. Two other relatively low mileage specials and one with about 35K of unknown lineage. We ain't buying these bikes on Barrett-Jackson Auction as retirement investments or to put into personal museums. They are well made powerful bikes still available at reasonable prices and are ideal for use as daily riders and sport cruisers. I know there are faster, lower maintenance bikes available, but there is also newer music out there that I don't lust after. I have no regrets about having decided to purchase and maintain my fleet of 11's, other than still having to do the daily drive to work to support my hobby.

[JWSanders]

I'm the 3rd owner of mine. And the last one!
