    Pffft.........nice road but why didn't the tripple tree never move? I didn't see the handlebars move one way or the other the whole video.

        Relax cowboy. I'm just sayin', if you look at the handlebars in relation to the rest of the bike they don't seem to move at all. Might just be the way the camera is mounted.

        And yes, I have heard of counter steering. I've been riding all of your life.

        If you don't think the XS is a cruiser your missing out though.

            Greg, quite picken on the boy, he ain't been where we have been with an XS and most likely has a lot to learn yet. Give him time.

            If there are more than three bolts holding it on there, it is most likely a very important part!

                Actually I think he is right about the camera mounting, it just does not show the triple tree moving because it is mounted to it. Not a bad video though. If you do one like that Greg, please turn the camera around though and show the road, not your face. There may be small kids on the puter watching Utube and we don't need them having nightmares.

                  No sense in shielding them from reality. Sooner or later they'll turn a corner and there I'll be. Better to ease them into it.

                          Hi Greg,
                          you've been countersteering ever since you transitioned off your kiddy tricycle.
                          And so has everyone who rides a single tracked vehicle. Even those who deny that the phenomenon exists.

                              It's a UJM!

                              Hi Jeruel,
                              of course it's a effin' cruiser (Well, not yours with it's super-low bars and it's bumstop seat) but mostly an XS11 is the classic UJM, which can be whatever it wants to be.
                              Young fellows can burn up the blacktop on it.
                              Middle aged guys can load up the hardbags with stuff and cruise off to the four corners of the country on it.
                              Morons can hardtail it.
                              Fat old farts can even strap a sidecar on it because they ain't got the bottle to ride it solo.
                              Mind you, it'd take a real effin' hero to ride it on dirt, eh?
