    Hi all,
    I hope Ive done this right
    just wanted to introduce myself to the group
    Forum Handle: Petejw
    Name: Peter
    Location: Sydney. Aus.
    Age: 38
    Ive just purchased an 1981 xs 1100 RH,
    bought it thru the trading post, as it was the cheapest
    road registered bike for sale, I picked it up for $1400.
    Its got over 96,000 ks on it, the top end of the motor
    will require rebuilding at a later stage, shes worn down a bit, but overall for its age it still goes well. I love riding the bike and had no idea of its history until I stumbled across this fantastic site.
    Ive been spending many late nites reading thru the forums
    and find the information invaluable.
    Thanks again.
