    Obviously a noob to the XS Rallies!

    A good rally is 50% XS and 50% other bikes and all the XS's start the morning of the ride.
    You'll see FJR, Kawasaki Buick Electra (that's the Canadian version with the big fins, the fake chrome plated intake hole in the hood, and the fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror), Nighthawk, Tuono. Some dedicated souls arrive in rented 4 door automatic single exhaust electric window vehicle. They are also welcome.

    Ride something and then ride it with us.
    You are sooo right abt my noob status and XS rallies...this will be my first...so obviously I had to ask the noobie question.A couple of things lead me to want to take my "other" bike.One being weather protection and two storage space.With the Max I have no luggage space and weather protection is nonexistant...But on the other hand I felt like taking the XJ11 because I am a proud owner and would like everyone to see it...so I am still undecided abt which bike to take but I am planning to make this rally and meet a whole of like minded XSives.To the Poconos!

              • Cool Ride!

                Ok I'll bring the ST and Pics of the Yammies ...LOL...In all the years I have been riding Yamahas...I dont think I ever did more than a 400 mile daytrip to Wash.DC and back on the old Max...but thats when i was younger and could fight the wind better...and thats just one thing you dont have to worry abt on the ST.So Thanks guys for the reassurance that it dont matter what I ride....and thats way cool in my book...
