Too Late?
Guess it might be too late to find this book by Bob Jones?Sadly I never knew anything abt him until after his passing.In all the years I have been riding Yamahas'...I have not been aware of an online community of XS/XJ1100 owners and enthusiasts...much less of the genius of this man and his contribution to our Yamaha community.Better late than not at all...as his Legacy will live on

Ken, I used to brag to Bob about you all the time. I've showed him some of your closeup photos of the choke holes in your carb float bowls and others. He liked your pics and web site alot.
