        I have an idea about the ugliest thing ever put on MY XS, but it's not on the poll! Yeah, pics are required.

          It's been many years since I use to pick up women at the beach and take them for rides so forgive me if I can't (or refuse to) remember her name. But BOOOOOY was she ugly!

            My cherry bomb pics are in my Cracked exhaust thread

            There are some pics of me in the Talimena rally photos

            Everyone knows what a Vetter fairing looks like

            Everyone knows what Harley bolt-a-chrome farkles look like.

            Like any other vote, you need to inform your self of the choices.

              Couldn't find one there... although there was this one that could have been you...

              Everyone knows what a Vetter fairing looks like
              True enough


              Everyone knows what Harley bolt-a-chrome farkles look like.
              Not so true... what the heck is a farkle?

              Like any other vote, you need to inform your self of the choices.
              Yeah... like people really do that...

                  As stated, I think Ivan is a big handsome fella. (OK.. after the Talihina rally it was late and I had been drinking..) But to be thruthfull... there's really only a PART of Ivan that goes on his XS... and I TRULY have to believe that this part of him has GOT to be uglier than a set of cherry bombs.

                  Now I don't know this as fact since I have never seen, nor checked it out, (Nor have the slightest desire to..) but "Guy" and "Good looking azz" are oxymorons to me. So I just have to "ass"ume it's as ugly as any guys'. lol.

                  Now.. if the poll was listed as "Ugliest thing ever SEEN on an XS"... I would have to go for the cherry bombs! lol.

                  And thanks for letting us vote anonymously....
