What did you do to your bike today?

Hey don, are you going to the iron horse?

Is there an Iron Horse in Central Oregon? I'm going alot of places but not sure if your talking to me...

I'm going to Crater Lake, The Painted Hills, John Day Fossil Beds, Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, Mount Bachelor, and Hopefully McKenzie Pass into the Lava beds.... that is if they have the pass open. as of a couple weeks ago they were plowing thru 31 feet of snow @ 5300 ft top of McKenzie pass.... and the boy's that live in the Rockies think they know what snow is

Arkansas?

Locked and loaded........ everything serviced and checked ready to head east and hang out with the hillbillys for a couple days. Maybe some of the people that live there too.

If you are headed to the Ozarks, sleep with one eye open Greg

Nice vid, DD. You have a fantastic trip planned. Oregon always amazes me with the variety of terrain, climate, elevation, etc. I'm in for your trip video.

That buzz never goes away,it's one of the flaws on the XS. There are ways of masking it,grips,steel bb's with silicone in the bars.Check out the treads on this problem.

None of mine have any buzz at all.

None of mine have any buzz at all.

I was thinking the same thing. There should not be a buzz, and it is not a flaw in the model - only individual bikes.

This weekend, I managed to repair the clutch/neutral interlock circuit. The PO had disabled it because the neutral switch was dead. I had replaced the neutral switch a long time ago, but could not locate the correct wire to re-connect it, so I ran a new wire for it. I finally found the wire and reconnected everything so the interlock won't let me start the bike unless the clutch lever is pulled in OR the tranny is in neutral.

This was a couple weeks ago, but it was so delicious, I couldn't help but share.

Ya I look forward to filming the back bone of the Cascades from Crater lake up the cutoff and onto the Cascade lakes scenic byway over mt. Bachelor. And out in the desert in the painted hills. gonna take some time to edit it all into something worth watching but should be cool

Hey don, i want to get a hero so bad. Man, your bike is sooo quiet compared to mine, it sounds really good. Is that how they sound stock? Mine has those slip ons on it.

JJ Ya the Hero 2 is a great platform. I went in halves with a buddy of mine on this set up. he gets to use it in his jeep wheeling, and I get to use it on my bikes. Eventually we will go halves on another so we each got one.

Yes what you are hearing is the stock Special pipes. they are fairly quite... you hear the tranny and mid-drive gear wine more than you do the pipes... oh and the valves clattering upon themselves. With the radio turned up I hear none of this thou

Wanted to test the 80 special to see if it would fire. Put a battery in and turned on the key...we got lights, that’s a good sign. Pushed the starter button...nothing. Probably because the right controls are not clamped on all that way (only one bolt right now). So I jumped the solenoid terminals and she turned over. Pulled the choke out and she fired up. Still have a ways to go but it's getting there.

I like the sound of all that stuff don, yours sounds great. Mine has a rumble on idle and then when the rpms raise it has a real good sound but i would still rather have the factory pipes.
