  • Met a XS'er today in McMinville OR

    I met a guy with an XS11 Special at a gas station in McMinville, OR today. He was having a minor electrical problem so I invited him to come here for help.

    Anyway if Rodger shows up here, let's all welcome him...

        I know that store well. Not right around the block for you... Next time your down in the area hit me up. We can do lunch. My shop isn't too far from there. Sometimes I hide from work @ that cycle gear
