    Hey Mo: It was great meeting you and the Tinman ( fellow xs'ers) & the rest of your buddies. It was cool seeing another XS1100. Maybe the next time my bike will be working & as we discussed I can give you the complete 4 1/2 tour - or shortin' it up due to time constants. I'd love being a tour guide of the island. And I promise no gravel roads hehe. Thx for the T-shirt I'll be wearing it proudly. - Dan
