Incounter with a Harley rider.

[plane_ben]

Coming home from a short ride on Yamkahonsu today and a Harley rider pulls up next to me. Checks out my ride with more than indifferent interest, then says. Thought that was a 650 twin, I got a couple in my back yard I want to sell. So I follow him home. He has a 1970 XS1 with an extended fork, but still has the drum front brake. Engine kicks over with good compression. Then there is an XS650 special frame, unkown year, no front end, and the engine in the garage. No rocker cover on it but complete in all other respects. Then the kicker, out back of the garage is a complete TX750. Don't know the year they were made, and have heard they are pretty much a toad. But still a rare bird. No titles on any of this stuff, but the price is to good to pass up. I'll post up pictures when I haul the stuff home.

Nice man. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

The XS-1 is worth about $6000+ on ebay if it is restored. Nice.

Very cool. You've got two rare bikes there that could be worth a ton.

A TX750?



I'd be happy as a clam with all those bikes.
Definitely can't wait to see some pictures.

Picked up my new treasures today.

First up. XS650 XB1 chopper.

A newer special parts bike. The XB1 tank is sitting on this frame.

Yamaha TX 750.

Look at those rims. Perfect!(oops I see a dent in front rim)

Very cool find(s). I am just as jealous of your climate though. In PA, if those bikes were sitting exposed in someone's backyard for more than a couple years, they would look like someone just brought them up from the Titanic wreckage. yoi
