Lonely no longer

Wow! What a site. Living in the eastern part of Canada gets a bit lonely when you ride an XS11. Looking forward to the contact.

Padre -

Checking a few online sources, it looks like Miramachi is near Newcastle... yes? That's only about 4 hours from me in Caribou, Maine, and about the same from Mark and Bruce in Halifax. Hmm... This could be the start of a get together!

See the
Owl's Head Transportation Museum "Antique Motorcycle Show"post in the Northeast Ralliesforum. Some of us are planning to get together and ride down. It would be great if you could join us.

Hi Padre

Like Bruce said, we both live in NS. There are other XS1100 oxners here but they do not subscribe to the list. Bruce and I do meet them once and awhile in Bedford on Thursday nights at Arby's.

I own a very rare 1984 XJ1100. The XJ1100 was only available as an 1982 model in the USA. There are a couple of XJ1100 that come to Arby's but they are both 1982 models, so a 1984 is rare even in Canada.

Bruce has a 1978 XS1100 and since his is the beginning of these bikes and mine is the end of these bikes, we named our bikes Alpha and Omega; the Begining and the End.

What bike do you have? You should consider the Owl's Head Museum rally, see the thread on Eastern Rallies.
Cheers,
