seems like they're starting to get a bit pricier here, too, my dad spotted a non-runner for 2k$, and a basket case for 750$
maybe i will make my money back if i ever sell this thing...

I knew theyd be worth money one day too, had dozens in my garage/shed once, my problem is everytime I need to spend money on the house/family/cars etc its usually an XS that has to go to to finance it...My line of work doesnt bring much in much dosh, just enough to pay the bills & a few drinks..
Same happened in the 80'/early 90's when I sold of my British bikes
..
Im desperately trying to hang on to what XS's I have left, Ive really got to stop looking at Ebay, its to bloody depressing knowing Im missing out on buying/selling XS's..

- know what you mean...i spent years bumbling round the world working in mines and rigs, earning heaps with low costs, collected property and bikes like a teenager and pimples...now im married with young kids, stuck at home, and the wife, totally missing the point, says what do you need so many bikes for, how many do you think you can ride...wanted me to sell the commando i sat my drivers license on just so she could go sit in the sun for a few days 
I figger you to be a bout 82 then xstwin
couse i reckon in about another 5years choppers won't be able to afford one to chopReckon I should sell my standard '77 to buy two cheap (XS) restoration jobs,then chop 'em, they fetch more here chopped than they do standard! 
Im about to hardtail my '75 (see avatar ,left)this spring to keep, Im regressing , as I get older I prefer non-standard !
...Waste of time me storing 'em as I probably wont be around to benefit from the investment
omg 2... Look at this ! Ebay 160409707355

XS1961;............resist the temptation to go over to the dark side.............keep that 75 as a stocker.
^ ha! Do what they all do and either sell it on craigslist as an "almost finished chopper" or just leave in the corner of the garage for a couple of years until you finally list it on craigslist as an "almost finished chopper" "just needs the hardtail welded on and wiring" they say....
Lol .. Not my first, but perhaps the 51'st.. Its just that Im sick of putting them all back to standard 'cause Ive been worried about 'de-valuing ' them.. I just not enjoying them standard anymore . I remember selling my first one back in late '78 'cause it cost me a packet new (£720 ! ) and I darent hack it about for that reason.
Just figured maybe if theres some suckers out there willing to fork out £2500 for a stocker I might as well take advantage of their better financial position
Yeah Travis, I see that a lot in our classifieds in the UK !

I always come back with how many purses can you carry or pairs of shoes can you wear?
