Youngest XS Rider
I just bought a 79 xs11 off of my great uncle for 500 who bought it new. I am 21 and was born in 1985, am i the youngest. The last time it was registered was 86 so it has set for a while. i have rebuilt the carbs and cleaned the tank, rebuilt the rear master cylinder and caliper, and tires. So am i the youngest?

we also landed a 78 xs750 special for free off of my great unc's son. but it does not work and has a long way to go before it does -
Nope... I think HobbyMan had it last year when he was 17(now 18)
Anyone who would sell you an XS for $500 is truly a GREAT Uncle!"Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!' ('Bones' McCoy)Comment

I sold the Mongrel to my cousin's oldest and he's just 20.
Hopefully he will take the riders safe course so I won't be blamed for him getting hurt...

I'm not riding it yet but I picked up a 79 Standard that's in pretty good shape.
After I get married next week, I'm hoping to find some time to get it on the road before riding season is over.
The first thing it's going to get is one of my reg/rec units...

Well, I started when I was real young. I joined the site at 17. I am now 18 and away from home. I still do not think that I am the youngest rider though.United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, NY
If I can do it at 18 yrs old, anyone can

That's what we like about you Hobby Man, so polite and modest...
Hope the Academy is treating you right. Once you hit the sea, you'll find out that the Academy was the easy part.

My daughter was 5 when I started giving her rides to and from day care every day. Does that count?

Webb,
I'd say that has to count for something. When does she get her own XS?Papa Gino
