  • XS spotted

    So I'm on my way to Vegas in my cage and we stop in Helena, MT, for gas, pulled up at the lights behind a guy on an XS with the plate 80XS.
    Just wondered if it was someone on here.

    THREAD HIJACK (sort of)

    Spotted an XS1100 today (I was on mine). I chased him down and we chatted a bit. He was on his way to drop the bike off with a shop to have some work done .
    I told him about this site and he will be checking it out.
    If I had a normal job where I was home everyday I would have offerred to help him work on it. I know the shop he is going to and they may do alright.

      I spotted one a couple weeks ago in McMinville, OR. Guy had made a trike out of a Standard. Had real short little mufflers on it, kinda noisy, but I heard XS11 music before I saw the machine. He is real happy with it, and has a 81 MNS as well. I told him about XS11.com. He's visited, but has a dial up modem, so he doesn't surf the web much.
