  • Hall of Fame

    Before this great site rides off into the sunset….

    Before all of the great XS Elevens make their last trek to the ….

    Nahh… too dramatic.

    Restart,

    Hopefully this great site is just in the winter doldrums.

    With renewed hope that the site would survive and flourish with a non- facebook mentality (which I agree with by the way), XS11.club was formed. Thank you to Nezzer and all others that made that happen.

    To liven it up, may I propose a “Hall of Fame”

    Of course, we would need a “techie” to create such a feasible feat, maybe even Nezzer himself to create a new forum category, where no man has ever gone before?
    But that would be asking too much from the man that saved this site..

    The old xs11.com site had some of the greatest posters and contributors of all time, before the downturn.
    So many of them are retired and should be in the “XS11 Hall of Fame”. But there are still some here today on the new site that should be candidates as well.

    From both the old and new site, BikerPhil comes to my mind. He is nonstop dedicated to sharing his vast knowledge.

    Who would you nominate for the XS11 Hall of Fame? Past or present!

          I agree with all of the above mentioned members and would also add Greg... BA80. I see him over on facebook quite often. Hopefully he has not abandoned this site. I agree the site has slowed down. I look over at .com quite often and it is amazing how many folks are still browsing that site. I went in the members lounge the other day and posted a message to let them know that this is the new site and that .com has been abandoned. It might be helpful for Nezzer to go back over and post a very prominent message on the main forum page to remind folks that the help is now over here. Oh... one other name is Mack. Haven't seen him on here since the beginning of this site. Hopefully he is OK.

              XS650.com is still running wide open. That tells me most of us aren't dead and there's still an interest in vintage bikes.

              As far as Hall of Fame, some of the greatest are gone, most recently Mad Biker or Madbiker (?) RIP. I rode with him many times. He was a real person to me, as are others.
