    Kinda new here, HI!

    Hey joined this site a couple of years ago when I was riding a xs650. Last summer I bought an XS11, and love this bike. It was pretty ugly when I got it. Been doing some painting this week. Still not done, but did a quick mock up to show my work. I don't have a before pic, but this is where I am at.





    P.S. this site is great!
    Semper Fi!

      Yeah, I like her. Put 5000 miles on it last summer and had a blast doing it!
