    My XS1100SG, finally using a good camera



    I finally got around to taking a photo with a camera a whole lot better than my cellphone cam. You can see, I've got a lot of polishing to do on that engine and rims but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with my 28 yr old bike.

    Don't worry...those oil stains in the pavement are from before I went in and replaced the head gasket and valve cover gasket. NO MORE LEAKS!!!

                  Looks great just the way it is.

                  I know I'd be happy with that!
