    you know its time

    Ever get to the end of a day and know that it is time to move on? I have been nursing my XJ 1100 along for 3 years, spent better than 3 grand on it and realize that I am not a mechanic. So as of the 3rd of May 2006 she is for sale!!!

    I don't know what she is worth but has a fairing, hard bags, not mounted with hardware, new paint on the bags and bike.

    She needs someone who can carress her carbs, light her pipes, and enjoy the making her purr. I don't have the time, nor the expertice to make it happen.

    Don't know what she is worth but TC probably does. He rebuilt her tranny.

      Sad day for sure!

      But it will be a happy day for the person who buys it. The price in my book is right, obo - Best offer takes it! I am not looking to get the money I spent on it back. Just need the garage space and swmbo is in total agreement with the garage space thing.

      It has 18k original miles on it.

            you thinking of a replacement?

            Maybe something with two cylinders?

              I am thinking of replacement but swmbo is not aware of the bike I am looking at. It will take time convince her as I have spent a lot of money and not gotten all of the joy of riding as long as I wanted to. So if I get something it is a toss up between a GoldWing or an HD. But I really don't know for sure.
