    Glad to find several CFL XJers. Just moved back to the area about a month ago and the old XJ has been my primary source of transport. Can't wait for rainy season!

    Anybody in Central Florida want to hook-up in Clermont for a country ride to Sugar Loaf Mountain, Montverde and Mount Dora- - it's not "The Dragon" but it's the best we got.

    I also have a Colortune, homemade carb sticks, and plenty of tools to do a quick tune-up. Meeting at the drag strip sounds fun too.

    Melbourne here. Bought a 92 XJ600 to restore in May. Just got licensed but I'm still working on getting the carbs back on the bike. Main jet screw keeps breaking. Just ordered my third screw. Third times a charm right?

    I don't trust my Seca enough yet to get that far from home with it. Thirty to forty miles okay; 200 is just a bit too far yet.

    There is a large poker run on April 18 in Polk County. According to the sponsors, they are planning on it being part of a Guiness World Record.

    The poker run is being held simultaneously in 12 states and they estimate a total of 4,000 riders altogether. Here in Polk County, they are estimating 700-1000 riders participating.

    If any of you want to tag along, some friends and I are riding and the more the merrier. PM me for details on contacting me at the event.

    I am over here behind the jail. Around avenue D. The guy on the orange one I have met. Didn't seem to care what he was riding. He told me he bought it for 60 bucks and just tinkered with it till he got it running.Didn't know what model it was just knew it was a 700 maxim.
    I have a windshield on mine. If you ever see me, just wave me down.
