    I'm Back

    Hey all, Steve Pratel here, one of the original XS11.com-ers, and the founder of XS East (with Darrell Newcomb, and a few others)

    I still have my XS11, have added an FJR and 750. Our great Uncle has bounced me around teh globe non stop the last 7 years or so, but I am back on the East Coast, figured I'd stp in to say hello, glad to see the XS11 crowd is HEALTHY. I remember the day back in 1996 when I found XS11.com that I thought I was the only XS11 owner on teh planet, never seemed to see any on the street.

    Dont know if anyone is still active from the good old days, I see you still have the XS East on Memorial Day weekend.

    Anyhow, I'll try to get a few pics up. cheers!

      Hey Steve....

      Welcome back! I'm pretty new and most of the time a giant PITA.

      Just thought I'd let you know a couple of the old timers frome here in the south central region. TRBIG http://www.xs11.com/forum/member.php...poster&t=28277, and Ivan http://www.xs11.com/forum/member.php...poster&t=28171 are going to be at XS East too. As a matter of fact, I think they are in VA. right now headed that way.

        Where the hell have you been? Left without even a goodbye. Stopped by your place about 4 mos after you left and there were strangers there!

        Looks like you're local, Alexandria? We need to get together. XSEast is in Somerset PA. If you can't do the weekend my son and I are riding out Fri. (He's riding Dave Hill's old 79SF.)

            Was hoping you were still around, tried to find your place a few weeks ago, think I was close, but couldnt find it. Yeah, they yanked me outta here real quick, not a happy time for me... Several trips to funfilled places! Went to Colorado, then South Carolina, With Iraq and Africa in between, now back here in DC. My number is 571-314-1740, give me a call. I dont know if I can make it for the weekend, but I'm thinking Sunday up and back. We definately need to get together. LOTSA changes in my world.
