Some crap B movie on tv when nothing else was on... some prom night II or something like that. Beautiful Yamaha Maxim. One shot from behind showed some guy riding a wheelie on it.

You're right. He said, "Beautiful Maxim". We can't tell what yours looks like under all that luggage! Plus... wheelies would imply running.. so that guy obviously doesn't have buddies that leave their oil pump screws un-loctited.

Hey, Tod....
Yeah... guess that's what I get for choosing the "buddies" I hang with...
(Are you ever gonna stop given yourself such a hard time about that one?) LOL
And I agree with ya, I have thought about shedin' some of the bulk... Miles gave me the rack setup if I remove the trunk... might actually pick up a couple a mpg's! (Once it's running again, that is...) just hate to lose the LED brake lights.
Course about the time I think about changin' it... it's time to load up for a trip... and that trunk sure is nice then!

XS/XJ in the movies
I think I saw an xs1100SG in the 1979 amityville horror. It's funny cuz tgd movie is released in 79 but it's a 1980 special I think. Anybody verify this?
Hey shouldn't there be a thread about xs/xj in the movies or in photographs ?

XS/XJ in the movies
Just checked info on Amityville horror the movie based on an incident that occurred in 1975 so having an xs1100sg is kinda like seeing a jet fly across the screen in a western. That's the movie makers foobar but it cool if it is an xs. Watch for it when you see the movie.
