[YamadudeXS650C]

Where's that danged double like button?

I found it:

...and I'm using it first for Round Robin.

What a superb bike and photo !

Perhaps the admins should put this on the front page so it doesn't keep gettin' buried...

 

[gggGary]

Now featured!

 

[MrBultaco]

I second halfmile's scrambler (if gggGary didn't with his 'oh yeah')

 

[halfmile]

Thanks Jim, Gary, Tom and everyone. It`s a great honor to be nominated for the 2019 calendar. I humbly accept the nomination and again many thanks.

 

[Ratranger]

There has to be a few more bikes people want to see in a calender.

 

[halfmile]

If I could just talk Jim into throwing a tank and side panels on that 80 we`d see another bike on the calendar.

 

[MaxPete]

Indeed!!

 

[Jim]

OK.... stuck the tank on just for you guys.....

 

[MaxPete]

I would like to nominate Weekend Rider and his beautiful late model forest green Standard.

Such a good guy with such a pretty bike - that is what the XS650 is all about in my view!

Pete

 

[robinc]

I'll second weekendriders nomination.

I would like to nominate Rhysbud and his Grouse Mouse tracker he shared back in December.

He also has a video of it on pg 226 of the “let’s see the xs’s” thread that shows off some finer details

 

[weekendrider]

Thanks guys. It is a 20 ft rider but I'll accept and get more pics.
As most have already figured out most of my "herd" consists of survivors.

The original plan was to collect enough we could have a family ride with an XS under every butt. We came close, time and other things (like keeping 7 bikes running at the same time) finally faded that dream.
All including this forest green have made some miles. This bike has most of the LED conversions I wanted to try. The improved reg/rec conversion. Krauser bags and racks for long distance. A sliding bag rack again for comfort.

The mechanical mostly OEM with the exception of a basic Pamco ignition and Heidens round screen oil filter. With new chain and sprockets now I wouldn't shy from jumping on this scooter for a 1-2K trip.

 

[hotshoe]

I nominate Hotshoe!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the nomination and will accept.

 

[Jim]

I would like to nominate Rhysbud and his Grouse Mouse tracker he shared back in December.

I'll second that. A very cool bike.

 

[rhysbud]

Thankyou for the Nomination, I accept. Also here is the short video to save the thread diving. Cheers.

 

[Jim]

I've used up my nomination quota. You guys check this bike out and use one of your nominations....

 

[MaxPete]

I’ll nominate Legend10’s silver tracker as shown in Jim’s post above.

Pete

 

[Mailman]

Beat me by a second Pete! Haha!

Edit: I second Legend 10’s calendar nomination.

 

[Jim]

.....a second......

Was that an "I second" Bob?
