    Not goodbye

    So, After last year when I spent all summer working on my bike, only rode about a hundred miles all summer, I decided it was time for a change. The XS is off the road, I will be keeping her so that I can take my time and fix her up right. In the meantime, I will be picking up a 2014 Honda, CTX 700 tomorrow. Not bad, and can't beat the price.
    By purchasing a second bike I can work on the Yamaha without the urgency of needing to get back on the road. This forum has been a godsend for me, my bike would have been down for the count a years ago without you guys.
    Hope to have her back on the road next year or the year after.
    Thanks for all the help, I'm sure I'm not done asking

          Ha, yes!

          Thanks, hamjam, for reminding me of this song! Haven't listened to it in a while, but I will be momentarily ...

          One of the greatest rock songs ever ...

              Hmar,

              Congratulations on the CTX! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! And don't worry ...

              We'll leave the light on for you ...

                  So, the CTX never happened. It turns out you have to own something before you can sell it

                  I bought a 2011 Triumph Speedmaster instead, still get to keep the XS
