    Wow, it's been 6yrs since I started this website. Check out these annual stats http://xjbikes.com/Statistics/details.html

    When I launched this site I remember telling my wife "I got almost 100 members on my website!". I was so happy to be nearing the 100 members back then. Now, XJBikes.com has nearly 10,000 members word wide (9950 when I posted this thread). Thank you everyone for making this a great community for all XJ riders.

    Heh,

    I was watching the tally myself and I'm proud to be part of this community. Little did I know when I bought my Maxim that there was such a great bunch of people willing to help and answer questions. I only hope I can pay it forward :)

    Not only is this site 6 yrs old, but other XJ sites have come and gone over the years and here we still are! The others (can't remember the names) had some good info, a faint memory recalls the "XJ bag" or something like that, anyone? But IMHO this is the ONE that has an international family of members that share knowledge and help restore and preserve these bikes.
    A big thank you to Sno and every other member on the forum for your help and insight.
    Many more years of this kind of camaraderie, I certainly look forward to.

    Congrats Sno!

    The Whole Site, ... many of the "Feature" contributions ... several of the "Projects" ... and one or two of the "Motorcycle Deals of The Century" ... deserve to be featured in the Motorcycle Periodicals.

    But, every time some real lucky bastard discovers an early Honda Dream 305 that was tucked-away for so long the tyres disintegrated and the once regal red finish faded-away bringing tears to the eyes of the National Geographic Archeologists and the Millionaire motorcycle enthusiast, who despite his wife's terminal illness, is devoting his life and fortune to have a skilled team of former Yamaha Designers restore the bike in a special new wing of The Louvre he's having built, ...

    We don't git no respect ...
    No respect at all!

    We must be cautious

    Thank all of you guys so much. I would have intentionally set my XJ on fire out of protest if not for the amazing help and information I've gotten around here. She has you to thank for her continued existence.

    There's nothing wrong with motorcycles or rock and roll, it's just the type of people they attract ... keep up the good work fellas !
