    Greetings from Holland

    Hi everybody,

    I am Dennis Hut, i live in Holland (europe). I am 32 years old, and i am married, two daughters and a dog. I am a buyer in a company who builts productionlines of aluminum.

    I ride daile my xs1100 special, wich i have rebuild to a nice chopper.
    I drive about 15000km per year with my dear xs, and its every day fun!

    On my addict was another xs resting and waiting to be my next project. It had no license numbers or title. Recently i bought a xj1100 maxim for a winterproject. This should become my daily driver, so my xs can be spared in winter time...

    This is a very nice forum, and i hope to learn a lot!

    Greetings Dennis Hut

                              Hi done,

                              An xs1100 is in holland difficult to find. A nice xs costs about 1500-3000 dollar.
                              A fixer is up to 1000 dollar. Parts are good to find.

                              An xj1100 is very difficult to find, even parts are hard to find.
                              They are just as expensive as an xs1100.

                              xs and xj750's (and lower) are better to find.

                              Dennis
