    I was out and about before that last snow fall and again these past two days.

    Unfortunetly not on the seca yet. I really want to ride it but i want to fix it up right and currently i need to be saving for a big bike trip come july. So all i can do with the seca is buy little things finish the tear down clean things up and prep for paint.

    Probly a good thing though the Honda CBF i riding dont mind the cold from my understanding these Secas are a tad cold blooded.

    Been busy with new chain and sprockets on my 1200 Bandit so it's ready for the season, then fresh oil and filter, next is the touring windshield. Then I can start to resurrect the X!

    Re: Any kingston, ontario riders around?

    Not sure about other XJ riders there - gotta be a couple, right? We're everywhere!

    That is the home of the CAV though - Canadian Army Veterans motorcycle group - Great bunch of guys & girls, mostly retired vets but actively serving are very welcome!

    Gotta get out there myself - haven't been back to CFSCE and the museum in a while....

    Bump for lostboy :). Getting close to the day, im leaving cambridge around 10am if all goes well. The worst thing is getting all the xjs together in the same place, but I guess that's what carbon clinics are for!

    Downtown Toronto here. just got my '82 650 maxim. Can't ride it until I get my M2 at the end of this month. I've just been restoring it and ripping up and down the alleys.
    Maybe I'll see you on Fri 13 in July ...

    I'll be at Dover as well, and I'll shoot for the Noon meeting at Timmies. I'll be wearing a vest with a back crest that looks like my avatar.

    Maybe I'll make up a little XJ Owners sign to hold up for awhile and see who I can attract! :)

    I'd like to be there this Friday BUT can't get the damn brakes to bleed. Will be at the next one in JULY for sure! Altus is it hard to join the CAV? I am a vet, just don't live close to any of the chapters.

    Looks like I'll be there albeit on the Bandit. Got it put back on the policy and picked up the sticker today. Main reason will be free advertising seeing as I'm trying to sell it, might as well display it to a captive audience.
    My cell is 519 854-0225 maybe if we use our cell phones we can find each other?

    I'll try to be at Timmies around noon as well... I bet it'll be hard to find a parking spot down there then!

    The group from work and I are leaving the Staples parking lot in Cambridge (24 & 401) at around 10:15am... Not real close to those guys, perhaps I'll break from the pack and park next to the first XJ I see! My goal is to meet some of you guys tomorrow, that is all :D. Maxim-X, I've got your number so If you get a strange text it'll be me...

    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!
