    Fred,
    Gee you are old!! Just kidding, of course. It is neat that your wife likes to share the bike with you. Is it the same bike in both pics?

    BTW, I like the orange. It is pretty sporty, even with the car.


    This is pretty cool. Keep the pics coming!
    Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

    Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

      LOL, I almost asked the same thing then I looked closer and the first bike is a 2 cylinder (650?) and then second bike is an 4 cylinder.

        Well, Fred,

        That just shows the fine difference between a bike and a wife.

        You CAN wear out a BIKE riding it, or at least a 650! With our 11's, it's a bit tougher.

            Well, here we are on top of Harris Hill in Elmira NY over looking Big Flats. Check out the terrain, http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...p&z=13&iwloc=A
            Finially got my G/F on the back and went for a ride with my Mom for her B-Day in late October last year. Got lucky and turned out to be a very nice day.

              Makes you kinda wonder,......Is that the same Fred in both pics?........The same Alva?

              Heh..heh...great pics Fred.

              If Alva is going to ride behind you why do you need the side car?

              So you don't fall over at stop lights?

                  Hi t71,
                  like Yoda said "When as old as me you are, as good as me you will not look."
                  I still own the XS650 but Alva hates to ride pillion (the sidecar pic is a posed shot) so I first hung a chair on the XS650 then bought the XS11 so little old ladies driving K-cars wouldn't overtake me on the highway.
