    Bike and Magazine

    I wonder if Jackhammer will bid on this one??
    By the way, I get bored when I have to work on 2nd, so I was checking out some bike magazines and came across a magazine called Behind Barz and saw Jim's ad in it.
    Nice ad.
    It would be great to have some of other pics in the mag!!!!!
    Especially the different rallies we attend.

      If it was a little cheaper, I would probably bid on it. I think it would be awesome to have an xs11 turbo. Right now, I wouldn't know where to start to install a turbo.

        Nice bike. Just about any bike with a functional turbo on it is cool in my book,

        Nice...except for when you have to tear the engine down because all the seals have dried upand rotted with 7-8 years of sitting, and new tires, and carbs cleaned, and tank rusted on the inside, and.......

        well, maybe not the carbs since it doesn't have any

          Wish I could do that!! My 2nd shift job doesnt allow for things like that. They took away our internet cuz some guy was surfing porn. If it were ME, in place of the IT guy...I'd have filtered the IP address on the SINGLE computer, and as the guy wandered about using other puters to surf porn, I'd have filtered them out as well. Eventually, someone would've figured out who was using the units and why, and they would've gotten some street justice.

          BUT, I digress...we have no internet at work, magazines are a luxury item I cannot justify, and toilet paper is for those who don't know how to use soap and water... Maybe I should FINISH my 1st cup of coffee in the morning before I post...

              I watched the auction on this one, but I didn't bid on it.

              29, thanks for the kind words about my ad in the magazine! Glad to know someone saw it!
