XS650 Guru
I stepped away from vintage bikes for a couple of years. Sold them all and only kept my Triumph Street Scrambler. It's been longer than that since I had an XS650.
I was recently contacted by a friend who is moving out of the country and he offered me a screaming deal on his 1981 XS650. I couldn't turn it down. A quick trip to the South Carolina low country (and one blow out on I-95 later), and I have a bike that is probably only a weekend's work away from being back on the road.
He had it set up as a cafe with rear sets and clip on's. Right now, it has stock pegs and Super Bike bars. It feels much better this way and I think it looks cool, too.
