Thanks for the heads up!!
Enjoy the show, if you can. I know it MUST be a lot of work. I hope the people at the show realise what the XS is, and how fast and reliable it still is.

Some great looking bikes!!!

That streetfighter is something else! Great colors....

there was a lot of interest,more than i thought we would get,people did not realise that there were so many different models,and while we were there a few people who have got them did not know there was a club so are membership has grown as a result of the show,,,,,,,,,

Hey, you guys are on the wrong side of the road!!!!!!!

left is right

Hi Rover,
the British drive on the left because of tradition.
In medieval times they travelled on the left side of the road so that their sword faced towards any oncoming enemy and they could more easily fight them.
The French drive on the right because of tradition.
In medieval times they travelled on the right side of the road so that their shield faced towards any oncoming enemy and they could more easily hide behind it.
In modern times, what with firearms and all, plus the fact that a third of a ton of bike & rider doing 60mph has much more projectile energy than a 180grain bullet doing 3,000 fps it don't matter which side we drive on but it's really important that absolutely everybody agrees about which one it is.
