Rally in Northwest????

Nice Wing, the first Wing I ever saw was that color, it was setting outside the NCO club in Korea, I must have walked around it for a hour looking at it.

[Geezer]

I needed the Wing for a business project and this one was dirt cheap because it didn't run. Whoever put the engine in was a good mechanic but didn't know crap about wiring.

On this page I document a couple of the repairs but unfortunately this was less than 10% of the wiring problems.

Here's a pic of the bike all together when I got it. Right now all the plastic and seat are off it...

I thought that might be it, but wasn't sure. I have an 83 Aspencade, that I bought last June. I wasn't looking for another bike, but this one was in fantastic condition and at a price I couldn't pass up. I still haven't decided if I will keep it yet.

[Geezer]

The wingding is my 1975 Honda GL1000 with a 1980 GL1100 engine. The wiring is a total disaster and I'm redoing all of it. Work keeps me from wrapping it up. Just when I dig into it, I get busy.

The XS11 I had with a name was my half 80 Special / half 79 standard and I called it the Mongrel. I sold that bike to my cousin's kid about 3 years ago. I now have an all 1979 standard that has some cool upgrades but no name.

I don't know what Tony is talking about either. I suppose it is his bike, but i thought it had a different name.

I know I'm going to hate myself for asking this, but whats a wingding?

[Geezer]

Sounds good. I might even have my wingding going by then...

I don't care what anybody rides either. They can ride a kids trike with pink stringers hanging from the handlebars for all I care. As long as they can keep up, it's all right with me.

I was thinking just a short day ride this spring to get things going.

Ride what you got, it's OK by me. I've had bikes from all of the big 4 Japanese, 3 brands of British and 2 Italian...

Hey Tim. I don't know for sure about the other guys, but i don't care what people ride. The whole reason for riding is for enjoyment. For me it is rehab as well. I hope we can put this trip together for summer. I also want some shorter rides. I do plan to wear out my new tires this summer. Glad you are hear.

Hey Larry and Geezer,
Glad to meet you both.
That would be great to go on a road trip somewhere. I'll try to get my Brother-in-law in on it too even though he has a XS750.
So these group rides...are they stickly XS11 or can people with XJs and XLS go too. I haven't been on any rides with club memebers and honestly I never discriminated people for what they ride as long as they don't do it to me. (This is why I don't own a Harley)
Anyway Just thought I'd ask.
Cheers!
Tim

Welcome back Tim. I'm in Salem, it's always nice to meet a fellow XS nut here locally. My ride is down for some repairs and modifications, should have it ready to ride in another month or two. We should get together for a ride sometime later this spring.

Larry

Count me in...

Hey Ya'all,
Tim Mix here. Been out of the forum for a long while but decide to log in today and am glad I did. I am sad I missed a ride to Detriot lake since it is close to my house. I live in Hubbard, OR.
But I would like to particpate in a ride this year, if one happens. I would be willing to help organize it, if someone needs help. It would be a good distraction.
Anyway, if anyone is up in the area and wants to stop by and chat that would be great. Email mail me at cessnafixer@yahoo.com
Cheers!
Tim

Thanks for the offer Terry, but i really do need to isolate this myself. That is the way i learn and remember things. I have to learn about this bike if i want to make that long trip. Besides, it would be a chilly ride to Bend this time of year. LOL

Ok if that's the way you want it.But this problem with your bike has been bugging me since we got together last summer.Geterdone LOL see you this summer!
