drummer, where are you located? I am looking for a 650 seat...like the one in your pics....
You should not rid yourself of it. Even at the height of your frustrations. You will regret it, and you may not get it back.
Glenn, that is a great looking bike! Not sure I'd trust my 28 year old bike over the rockies...I might tag along to Hope! Thanks for the pics.

It is 7:15 am, and I am looking out my kitchen window at some serious rain. I am inclined to postpone this ride. I will be at the coffee shop...

New battery, new rear brakes, and new tires. Went for an easy ride to get the "new tire slickness" off - fantastic! 28 year old bike runs...
Mrs. YVR won't go any where near the bike. In fact, she's a wee bit pissed I have it back...but at least she keeps that to herself. Thanks for...
I troll my local craigslist ads, looking for XJs. I admit it. I came across this, and, well....I just had to share....
Every time I get on it, I am 22 again - just like when I first bought it. 15 years, two mortgages, two kids and a wife ago. It is my great...
