Saturday morning BS at the local watering hole with the Star Buck rejects. Patina Pete pulled up on his mostly 72' Xs650. He's had it for years.... Sure, it huffs a little smoke.... yeah that 400 Kawasaki front brake doesn't do much.... and God forbid you hit a pothole or railroad tracks above 20 mph.... But I've ridden the old beast and it's a hoot. Nearly everything Pete owns has.... patina... lots of patina. That's Gary's 77' Xs... big bore kitted. Has the Emco mufflers and really sounds great. :cool:

The seat height doesn't appear too high until he sits on it. I was expecting something much closer to the ground. Anyway, it is an eyecatcher, and that front drum brake sure makes the maintenance less complicated.
