Anyone else in northwest Washington? My husband and I are in Oak Harbor and are always looking for people to ride with.
I could also use some advice on fixing my bike....we aren't sure what exactly is wrong with it, its been sitting for several years before we bought it.

You're not alone. There are others in Washington who have also been bitten by the XJ bug. If you need a hand with the bike or want to tear up some asphalt, PM me.
Here's where I am in relation to your locale...

I'm in Oak Harbor with an XJ 550 as well... I saw some other person is in Port Townsend.. Only thing is.. I don't know that much about bikes.. mostly just general stuff.. I usually google the problems and try to fix it myself.. but these guys here are pretty cool and very knowledgeable.. so keep posting ur problems as you go and super techs will help.. I'm lucky I work with a bunch of rednecks in my shop too.

Hey, I should check this section more often! I am in Stanwood, or Warm Beach more precisely. Gamuru and I have been known to ride and wrench together on occasion. We even did a group ride to Whidbey once.
We should all get together sometime. I'll be on vacation ("Staycation" most likely) the week after the 4th. So whaddya think?

I live in the Monroe area and just recently picked up an '82 XJ650 Seca.
I've wrenched plenty on cars/trucks but am new to motorcycles and would enjoy meeting up w/ other XJ owners for a meet 'n greet or wrench session! My schedule is packed through mid-July, at least on the weekends, but have days free after that.
A co-worker of mine has an XJ650 Turbo and would probably be up for a get together too. He's back in the country late next month.

I live on the Eastside of Lake Washington and have a 81 XJ750RH SECA. I'm an Engineer by trade and have also wrenched on both auto's and bikes throughout the years. These bikes are not that difficult to work on with a little patience. I'd love to see some other XJ's and it would great to get together for a ride or just meet up somewhere. Could me in if something gets organized.

Hey Lyle! I live in West Seattle but I'm from Renton and Kent. I'm riding an 80' Maxim. We ought to get together for a ride here sooner rather than later. I've been tinkering with my bike a fair bit lately and have plenty of projects left to work on. I'd be happy to come through and help you with some of yours as well!
Other NW riders- Let's get organized!

Sounds good to me Steve. As a matter of fact I took an extended holiday and have today off and was going to go for a ride a little later.
We should get organized

I work 1/2 days on Fridays and have the week endd free if that helps. Don't work your self to death in the mean time.
All you other XJ riders in the Puget Sound area. Lets get together a meet up for either a ride or a BS session. Our bikes are getting rare and so are the riders that appreciate them.

I had forgotten about this thread. How many of us webbed-foot riders still need to get our XJs operational? We should set up a ride or a get together or something.
