            Hey Bill,
            You can almost see the whole bike!

            That wouldn't be a train in the background?

            Looks like a fun ride.

                  How many

                  It's been a while since I've been here, but I now have 3 XS11 Specials (one is a Midnight). One of these days I'll get them running again. It's a lot of work trying to keep 7 bikes running.

                        Mine is an 80 XS special . I bought it for $800 a rusting wreck that sat outside in a guys back yard for two years. It came with a Pacifico fairing ( plus a spare the guy found on a sidewalk being thrown away) and full KC bags and trunk with the adjustable backrest and a mustang saddle. I bought the bike to have a more powerful bike to pull my sidecar, The bike is Wretched XI and the sudecar is XS Baggage.

                              I finally have space in the garage to work
