    Guru?

    Just noticed I've made XS-XJ Guru status. Hey people, I just bought my first XS11 in August, 2005. This guru thing is based solely on # of posts. I'm merely a post whore, not a guru. Though I have a lot of motorcycle experience, I know next to nothing about XS11s except what I've learned about Ol' Rusty in the last 3,000 miles of riding it, namely, it's a really fun bike.

        Will being the first non moderator Guru, does that mean that I get free whiskey at all XS rallies?
        Gentleman Jack, if you please.

          Now the floodgates will open. Be prepared for a flood of posts from all the beer drinking lurkers out there. Hope the server doesn't crash!

            I noticed that earlier, Mike. Congratulations.

                Eventually I hope to reach Guru status, once I learn more about these XSElevens.

                        Seriously though, congratz, I wish I had more time to spend answering peoples questions, and overall posting, rather than trying to find the answers to mine and working on the bike LOL.
