Well my bike has been running a bit on the poorly side below 3k this year and was taking the fun out of riding,riding the clutch to get going,high rpms to keep from stalling after a stop sign....felt like it was my first day riding all the time. Well DGXSER got it going yesterday and I was going riding today,period.
Well Issac is coming thru here now but I put the lowers on,saddle bag bras,rain coat and took off to nowhere.Did about 60 miles locally,70mph on the big road,felt at home again with the XS just purring along, I have good rubber below,a few miles of experience in the rain,pickup coil wires won't short out,4 wheeler' s are behaving even as I pass a few,guess the windshield wipers couldn't keep up
Riding in the rain isn't too bad with a full Vetter fairing...what makes riding in the rain really bad is if you are cold and wet,I learned that early on in my riding's that being a little wet is ok but dress warm even in a warm day.
Well I had a fun ride,didn't have to wave to another bike,I went nowhere but I did get home with appreciation as to why I ride the XS1100 and the people who help keep it running.




And the end of the ride....
