You get to hang out with all the cool guys here!
Thanks for the links, great reads.
It really sounds like most all of you have a deeper connection with these bikes than most do with their wives, lol. The more and more I read the less patient I am becoming...I guess that my mind is made up, XS650 or nuthin'. I have been keeping an eye out on all the local listings but havent found anything in my area (or withing 300 miles or so). Can anyone suggest any other options for picking one of these bad boys up? I originally started out with a $500 budget but it seems like that is just not going to happen with an XS so I dont mind paying more, just not a whole lot more. Is it reasonable to think that I can pick one up for about a $1k in running condition?
