    I have just set up my MSN space as a place to show Pics of my bike and it's refurb project. If the link works anyone with any interest can go take a look. I tried to keep the Pics in order. Some may have already seen some of this stuff here or at other sites from posted links. In any case check it out if you like

      Nice site.
      that portrait of you in the top left corner, Uhmm, is nice, too.

      Nice job on the bike, though!
      Impressive.

          Those are great pictures. Would you consider licensing them under GFDL and Creative Commons licenses and uploading them to Wikipedia? The article on the XS Eleven badly needs some good pictures.

                Yes it was a great feeling to hear her run that first time. Putting her on the road was even better. She did have a wobble that turned out to be a defective tire but other then that and the usual tuning "fun" she is a good runner.

                  You can have any of the Pics that you want. They are for any and all who have interest in this series of motorcycles. If the Pics on the site can not be saved and then enlarged to look good send me a list of the ones you would like. I will e-mail them to you. Also include a link to the site your talking about.

                          Hey Rob
                          Are you going to the XS11 rally in May in New York? The guys would love your bike and the rallies are a riot.Its in may and all the info is in the rally section. Your not very far away from it im going and i have a 14 hour drive to get there I have been to a few and even hosted one a few yrs back ! Great guys great bikes ,super rides,and lots of lies told around the bonfire. Hope you can make it.

                            Hey thanks for the heads up on that Doug. Being that I just reentered the sport last year I have never been to a rally . I will discuss it with my lady and see if there's a chance to make it.
