    An introduction and question

    About eight weeks back I had to spend a couple of days in St. Louis and to occupy some down time I pulled up Craig's List to see if any XS stuff was available. And to my surprise there was a non-running, titled 1980 XS650G listed for $350. A couple of texts later I was on my way. As is...
