I’m picking up a ‘77 XS650 tomorrow. I’d had ‘66 Triumph before and loved it for years, made it my own, made some good memories on it. I had no choice but to sell it one day. I told my new wife recently I’ve dreamt of it four nights in a row. We’re sitting there with the kids and she’s suddenly reading off listings. I thought it was over for me but she wouldn’t have it. I happened to find this XS, locally and in my price range. I’ve got some plans for it and since it’s not exactly all original anyway I’ll make a mild custom. I’m not majorly cutting it up. Something along the lines of a scrambler in style and some of what’s coming out of Japan these days. First I’ve got to make adjustments to fit my short stature.
