    Hi Blank Slate,
    Sadly we lost Newbee last year. Last I heard Slow Mo has sold his bike, after building a shed for it to live in. And Guelph is near me but a long way from Ottawa Blue Giant has recently surfaced after a long absence.
    ELDR is based somewhere around Ottawa. If they have not posted fora long time then they probably have lost interest in XS11.com.
    Raising kids, Caring for parents and Earning a living frequently get in the way of having fun and playing with motorcycles.

        Hi,

        I know mack, Elder and 79xs11e have their own ultrasonic cleaner. My bike was restored/revived 6years ago so I'm not in need of one. The bike my son and i are tinkering with were just fitted with a set of carbs from mack.

        How's your bike coming along?

        Paul.

            That's correct, I have my own unit. It's just big enough for a carb body which is all I really use it for.

                Hey all you Ottawa folks. My XS is running fine but I have some projects planned for the winter. I sure would be interested in meeting some fellow XS owners. Thanks

                  I'm planning to see Mack on Thursday to put the bike back together. Exciting times
                  If I'm back Friday night, we can have a bbq at my place on Saturday. Riverside/Hunt Club.

                      There is one more rider I know of in Kanata I believe. His name is Ernie Millward. He has a 1980 SG in very good shape. He met up with the rally at lunch time on the saturday and sunday rides in 2014. I told him to join channel 11 but I haven't seen him post anything or if he has I'm not sure what his handle is. Great guy. If you look him up and talk to him, tell him I said hi !
