30th Anniversary Patch for 1980 XS1100

[Ken Talbot]

What is the difference between club "board" members and "general" members?

Here's a bit of our early history:


Who are the members of the XS-XJ Eleven Owners Association?

This loose association is made up of motorcycling enthusiasts who own (or have owned) a Yamaha XS1100 or XJ1100. It was decided not to make the group too formal. One of the things that makes it great is that there is no organization to this organization. All those folks who currently own one (or more) of these models are referred to as Vice-President. Non-owners are called Associate Members. They are welcome to participate in all discussions. People who have owned but currently do not own an XS11 or XJ11 are considered Past Vice-Presidents. Ed Burke, the brilliant Yamaha mind behind the XS11 was appointed President-for-Life. He doesn't even know he's the President.

I'm in for two "special" patches. Would prefer SG rather than MNS but if it's MNS thats chosen then C'est La Vie.

What is the difference between club "board" members and "general" members? I think they think that these patches will be for a "club" that has "board" members as compared to the members of an on-line forum? To be clear with them you should likely make use of the paperwork TC has so there's no confusion that might have Yamaha second guessing when it's time for the 40 and 50 year patch's ...

I have the info that T.C. sent me when I first started this idea, Thanks again T.C.
We should be all right getting the permissions from Yamaha. Mostly cause there is no profit. This will be only for the members here at ch11 and the cost will be for the patch and shipping only.

Once I work through my ideas that I have I will post. Then I will so a sample to Yamaha to make sure we are good.

Soon you will be seeing some Ideas.


Thank You all for your patience,

Ozz

I'll take a couple

[WMarshy]

Any chance someone has a 30th patch for the 78's and/or the 79's? If I could get my hands on either one Id take one or two of each...

[QRFan]

Count me in

I want some patches too.... What about a design that compliments the mns & the sg?

[BigDick]

How about a patch that says "Not all Yamahas are special, but ALL Yamaha riders are "Special.""

[MrOzz]

OK, I call on your help.

I need a good picture of a 1980 XS1100 Special, I might consider a MNS picture.

Unfortunately my ride has been altered to I cannot use it like I thought. Ive tried lol.

I do have some requirements though.

1. Needs to be factory spec. No saddle bags, or after market items.
2. Needs to be a side shot with a plain background. No trees, people, other bikes. (If its a original ad picture thats a side shot, perfect)
3. Must have the proper badging on the side cover and tank.
4. Should be a original color.

I am looking for something like this, but more of a side profile, showing the whole bike with mirrors and not in 2 halfs. lol






Now for a little motivation...


The person that sends me what I need and that is usable I will give a free patch too. But you all have to promise not to complain or whine that I did not use your photo. LOL

Thanks all,
Ozz

John....

That second pic is an older model, front side reflectors are wrong, grab bar is wrong, and the tail light is on the fender not tucked up behind the seat.

Great pics though.

Once y'all get the patches ready. I'd like one for the 1980 Special. Thanks

You are correct. The 2nd is a 79 special.

Good pics though.

Sorry

Did not look at it well enough. Had brake issues on my mind.
