    I am new to the site and new to motorcycle repair. I've been riding now for 5 years and decided to buy my first "fixer upper". I ended up getting an XJ650 J. After some title issues, I am onto fixing it up. I'm excited to go through this thing and learn as much as possible about motorcycle repair. If your from Minnesota hit me up...I'm looking to get this thing fired up and running smooth by summer time.

    Skillet,
    Just gotta tell you...took a bike trip this past year down to TN and became a dragon slayer! Wish that was in my backyard.

    That stretch of road is ALL the way across the state from me (seen it on the web). Lots of good videos. Especially the ones of folks on big cruisers trying to straighten out the curves 8O !!!

    Hey Yammadof,
    I did a nice ride up there a few years back. Up along the north shore, then up Hwy #1 to Eli. That's a great ride. >PD<
