How many do you have to own before your an addict?

[bbrown]

Lol,
when I got it home and started taking it apart I noticed a few bass akward things about it, like the tire on wrong way and missing bolts in handle bars! when I bought it dude said to take it for a test ride down the street, I said as long a s it runs I was rebiluding it anyway.
With the missing bolts for the bars it would have been a interesting ride for sure!
Good eye.

does ogling at pictures for years before you buy one count?

I believe so! I became addicted when I spied a new XS1 in the storefront display in 1970, so even being within 50 ft qualifies. Now, gggGary and bbrown have crossed the line, time for an intervention, or application for a dealership...

I could stop at any time I don't need a motorcycle.




But where's the fun in THAT?

I could stop at any time I don't need a motorcycle.

I don't have too many bikes, my garage is too small!

There are eleven in there - eight of them are 650's!

If I lived on the farm like I did growing up and had ample storage, I would have a lot more but right now I only have two---my 650 almost done project and my Honda CL77 305 Scrambler. Hey Bbrown, any pics of your Dream and Superhawk?

 

[bbrown]

For sure,
Dream is 100% (less than 5000 miles) all original but needs a strip down makeover and paint.
The superhawk is going to be a vintage race project.
I just picked up a 1970 honda sl350!

 

[jsmith1107]

Have never restored a Hawk---I have its Twin in my garage though and it is done.

I had three XS650s at one time: Cafe Racer, Street Tracker and a Sidecar bike. My friend Carl had 22 at one time including one of every year. Thas's what you call XSive.
