    Napanee, Ontario here.

    The XJ is running great. The wife loves it too. She has her liscence, now so it is her ride ( we are looking for a backrest for it too :)). We will attend the kingston bike night ( #38 & 401) when we can (if it is still on). We usually attend Napanee Bike night on Tues nights. Pretty good turnouts there too.

    Drop a line if anyone is interested in a local ride. :).
    Ride safe everyone!

    Out in Cottam (between essex and leamington). Been thinking about getting some buddies together for a "Post-Apocalyptic" ride on December 22, provided we're all still here. Might be a little chilly, but if the world ends it might be a lot warmer too haha. Anyone interested?

    I just bought a 1982 xj650 seca. Im new here and this is my second bike. I cant seem to unlock the seat so i can check the air filter. Need help. The key cover is on the left side . I tried turning the key but the seat wont lift. Anything Im missing or do I just pry the seat after turning the key clockwise?

    2ron2dude there is a lever to the right of the key (When looking at the side of the bike) that you have to release when you turn the key to get the seat to lift up. it should be behind the side handle for the passenger.

    Im up near kincardine ON with my 83 750 seca but once my new job starts in another month ill be touring back and forth to Brampton, once I get my bike insured this spring ill be up for meeting up with some fellow xj'ers

    PS Awesome winding road riding around lake Huron and Georgian Bay. If you want an awesome day or weekend of riding I strongly recommend doing the Port Elgin, Sauble Beach, Tobemory, Wiarton, Owensound circuit.

    I did it one weekend with the wife as an anniversary adventure with some added riding on the fathers 1100 vstar we put in 900km's

    for the extreme adventure you could follow hwy 26 around from owen sound to wasaga beach before taking the highways home.

    If you're going as far as Tobermory, isn't everything pretty much north of Sauble Beach gravel? I seem to remember from my Manitoulin Island trip on the Norton that the pavement ran out once you got onto the peninsula.

    I'm going to try to make the CVMG meet in Paris in June; if not, PD13 is in September this year.
