Back in the crowd

[tracer1966]

Just joined, and I'm in the market for an XS650. My home is in WI, but I'm working in CO right now, and looking for bikes in and around CO. I have a couple leads at the moment, but any others are welcomed.

My first bike was a 1975 XS650B, and like many of us, I regret having ever sold it. But now's the time and opportunity to be prodigal and repent!

Welcome aboard tracer. Wisconsin is a regular hotbed of XS650s'
This bike isn't stupid far away from you if you like early AND fairly deep projects.

You're right. Lander is worth the trip for the bike.

I tried to crash the 650 gathering at Westby once, but just missed the crowd. Maybe next Labor Day!

Welcome to the forum tracer1966 - the Lander, wow! leading shoe front brake as well. I like it.

I looked on my old School Atlas, and it doesn't look very far on page 56, just a few miles from the between the shire of Wisconsin and the shire of Wyoming. Be there and back in time for tea.

I hope you pick up a bike soon.

So many helpful replies, some public and some private. Many thanks all around. I'm even more eager to get my hands on a bike now and post on its progress.
