First meeting of the OFFW group

[gggGary]

Yup, old farts from Wisconsin.

Don was the instigator I took him via the back roads (hoot owl valley road) over the bluffs and we stopped at Kevins.
More scintillating pictures later.

Being an old fart myself it looks like you had fun. 3 nice 650 together a rare sight.

 

[retiredgentleman]

Yes sir; 3 XS650's together is not common. Most I've seen is 2 in one spot.

Watch out you youngsters in your 20's and 30's. Us old farts are out to dominate the world

 

[scabber]

Old farts rule.

All three bikes were brought back from neglected to severely neglected "barn find" status. Yesterday was the first "out of the neighborhood" trip for Don's 80 Special since he bought it and it's now running great. I have put 300 miles on the 79 since awakening And Kevin puts the hammer down, over 4000 miles in the last year. He was headed for the East Coast on the 75 but oil consumption is forcing an engine overhaul before any extended trips, his well over 100,000 mile ST1100 will have to serve. The 3 bikes show between 20 and 30 thousand on the clock.
