    Cycle Jan 78 XS11 Road Test - online now

    Here's some good reading if you haven't already seen it. It's the debut of the XS11 as tested by Cycle magazine in Jan '78, A lot of great pics and information.

    I got the mag a while back, scanned it and pdf'd it.

    You'll need Adobe Acrobat to read it, and a good fast connection, it's 9mb.
    Enjoy!

        Thanks Randy. I had already read the text on this site in the Articles section but it's sure nice to see the pictures too.

        Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out and defiantly shouting, "WOW, what a ride !" - [URL="http://www.flyingsnail.com/Sprung/index.html"]Sprung[/URL]

            Randy's home page has moved to HERE but appears the article is no longer posted on his site.
