                    Yes, a fellow (head strong) Ram. Thanks to all of you guys. Got another XS11 for my birthday (that's my excuse anyway).

                    Not sure what the condition of it is yet. Will be a few days before I take delivery. It was going to be scrapped and I could not let that happen. It was a long distance away from me, but I got a great deal on shipping. Bike was only $500.

                        Hi Mike,
                        Thanks for saving that one. It looks to be very complete. Lets hope it runs well too.

                          Hi MaximPhil,

                          Another gamble on my part, but better than being crushed and lost. Has not run in a while so I already have a pretty good mental picture of the real condition of it. Regardless, something good will come of it I'm sure.

                              I got quotes from 2 sources. One that you mentioned and uShip. uShip came in high at first so I got Motorcycle Moving to give a quote. uShip started at $1000. I would not pay that. Got them down to half of that. Considering the bike was in Seattle, I feel like that was a fair amount.
