1978 XS650 Special Project

[Melnic]

My T100 is the 2022 model purchased new. It is a GREAT bike and really EASY to ride. Smooth shifting, clutch is great and bike is nimble.
I like it on longer group rides but for anything more than 2 hours, I like my scout instead.
XS650 I take on 1hr rides and is just more nostalgic. Plus I have more sweat equity into it so pride in riding it is higher.

The XS650 garners comments wherever I stop. People recognize it from their way back machines.

Once, visiting Mrs' son when he lived in Lanark, a passing postman came up to and told me in a very broad W Scotland accent, that he/his bother/his father/his mother - broad accent means I could not fully understand - but whoever had owned that exact same bike in that exact same colour back in the day. Took that as a compliment for Miss November on her XS2 act . . .
