Folks ... I thought would share my Bike and story with you. This bike was my first real motorcycle that I bought in May of 1976 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The second picture I have is myself leaving on it from Toronto (after a visit to my parents in Toronto) back to Winnipeg. My actual serial number bike was traded in on a XS1100 in Toronto and I have not been able to locate it. I purchased this bike (first picture) a couple of years ago and have been working on it to get it to a like new condition .... brings back lots of memories for me when I work on it.
Since these pictures I have replaced the Tires with Avons to get closer to period rubber.
