    Yeah... kind of hard to know what he thought about things and what his opinion was.

        Man, if he put on a cape and pulled his visor down he'd be doing a passable Darth Vader impersonation.

              Not an MNS, just a really cool paint job. If I'm not mistaken, based on info contained in the book, I think the pic is of "Ole Blackie", his 1st XS11, a '78 Standard 'Dresser' that, according to him, he had painted the black and gold colouring that Yamaha eventually used as its basis for the MNS.

              A gorgeous bike!

                  That's right, it's a standard model with his paint job. I don't thing Bob rode any of the other models... just the standards....

                    wow!

                    Who would think the way a thread goes , any way Bob did some great work on our bikes and was an amazing character and actually called him one time looking for side covers nice guy but he did charge top dollar. It gets me thinking some body needs to set up another 11 only shop and be crowned the new king of xs!! Not meant to offend anyone just an idea , with 4k+ members someone ought to be able
