  • Me and my Xs

    The last time I posted here was 2005 lol, I had sold my xs11 special in 2001. I had bought my bike originally in 1992, it had been sitting outside under a tarp for two years. My father and I got it running and I proceeded to ride it to Alaska from southern b.c. got me there and back lol. I rode this bike u til 2000, decided to sell it. Over the years I wondered how it was doing, 8 or so years ago a scrap guy I knew had picked it up, he thought it was too good to wreck so he stored it until the owner (same guy I sold it too) picked it up. Soooo a few months ago there was my xs on market p.ace, same paint (i painted it )same bags (my dad had bought them for me for Christmas one year), same seat I had recovered lol, and same guy who I sold it to in 2001 owned it, I cried and I bought him back lol. He needs a lot from sitting I'm hoping to bring him back to his former glory. I used to have a picture of it on this site under my name Angie Meier, not sure if it's still on here can't find any pictures listed. Been a lot of years for me and my biking buddy I truly hope him and I can ride off into the sunset again lol
