    I am probably one of them you've seen then. haha

    I live in the northern part of town and ride frequently with a group of friends from Norfolk Iron & Metal. Many morning rides and the occasional poker run. Mainly it is my play toy and my daughters favorite mode of transport for sure. But I work 3rd shift so my hours are opposite most "normal" people.

    I also have seen at least 4 XJ's running around town. A couple clean ones like mine, a yellow one, and a couple of flat black streeters. Just talked to a guy 3 nights ago at Benjamin Express that was riding at 902 V-twin ?? as I was on the way to work at 10:30pm. I forget what it was exactly, but the damn thing looked exactly like mine except for the twin pumper motor.

    I have valve adjustments/camchain tensioner work to do yet, and tires to get put on but I got her out yesterday for her first ride of the year. 70degrees and noooo bugs. Awesome ridin.

    Cya round....

    Hey everyone! I'm from Columbus, - just a short stint from Norfolk. I'm yet to take mine out of town since my front fork seals are leaking, but once I get that taken care of I'll be cruzin' anywhere and everywhere! So if you see a black XJ with red flames drivin' around, it's probably me.

    Had to stop in ... even though I'm in WA for now.... when you say small town.. that is the norm.. Omaha, Lincoln, and then memorial stadium are the top three ranking population order

    Well, if you dont have a bike anymore, you must really be missing cleaning carbs and doing front fork seals!!! I would be happy to fill that gap in your life by letting you do mine!!!

    That big?

    The small Michigan town I grew up in-- which is the county seat, mind you -- has trouble keeping its population above TWO thousand. :wink:
