    Wild cat mountain ride, Labor Day Weekend Near Reedsburg WI

    Just got confirmation it's happening again this year, so wanted to get a thread up. I haven't been to it but hear it's a good time. The roads in that area are "dragon" quality. Hi Gary - Yes, the rally will be held over Labor Day Weekend as usual. I think the dates this year are Sep...

    Second Wednesday at SUB

    If you are in the Puget Sound area: A week from today. On the second Wednesday of the month during the warmer months, Seattle Used Bikes has a BBQ for all comers. Think Backfire Moto on a much smaller and friendlier scale. There is always an amazing collection of bikes; new and old, fancy...

    A send-off for a legend...

    Geoff Duke may not be a familiar name to many here, but I suspect he likely had an XS650 stashed away somewhere. http://www.foxsports.com/motor/story/isle-of-man-tt-geoff-duke-funeral-lap-050615

    Help a newbie on a road trip!

    Hi all, In a few weeks I'm looking at doing my first road trip to pick up a newly purchased '77 650D in Chicago and ride it back to my home in Brooklyn. I have an '80 XSG (Special II), my first XS but not my first bike. Still, I'm a newbie. I've been riding it for a couple of years but...

    Slimey Crud run May 3rd Pine Bluff to Leland Wisconsin

    http://www.slimeycrudrun.com/ I was plum embarrassed by the paucity of XS650's at the run last fall! Let's get em out there boys. I am fairly sure I'll get the 79 and the 73 there, maybe an HS too. Running out of time to get an early bike done, too damned many projects to do.

    Riding around Snoqualmie Valley

    Perfect weather here in the Puget Sound. I haven't done a thing to my ride all winter so some fresh gas in the tank, fresh air in the tires, and a squirt for the chain and we were ready. A fine day.

    You rode today? Where?

    Well, I can't answer this question. Last time I rode was a week ago when the temperature was 50F and I'm in South Carolina.

    Who got in a new Years Day ride?

    Got up into the 20s today and the roads are clear so put on some electric gear, went out in the shed, and kicked the 79 a few times, thanks to Pete it fired up on the third kick and after about a 10 minute warm up I put about 20 miles on it. The gear helps but even with warm gloves, at...

    Dammit

    43 f*cking years without a damn deer. Two weeks ago I got clipped by one going over the back of my bike, 3rd in line in a caravan. Bruised my elbow, shoulder, and later my hip came up a bit sore. I did keep it upright, but had to fix some bent luggage brackets. Today I took a slow ride to check...

    Friday Morning Cruise

    Took the XS650 out for a cruise this morning along Historic Hamblen Drive (State Highway 207) between Claude, Tx and Silverton, TX (i.e. middle of nowhere!). It was a beautiful, cool morning that was perfect for a ride. All told I covered about 180 miles. Great way to spend the morning!
