    Went out before dawn the other day to gather up some photos of the Upstate New York countryside in autumn. Ended up shooting around for hours. Couldn't resist grabbing a few of the bike. This is one of em. Elliott\'s 85 - XJ700-1 (resized).jpg

    Haha yeah, all the backroads in this area look similar. So many pale cornfields.

    Thats a nice looking bike, gives me some encouragement to wrap up the mechanical work on my 700 and get the cosmetics squared away.

    Ughh man it sucks, I had been taking it on and off to access the battery tender leads, and I must have not firmly connected it on one occasion, because all of a sudden it was missing. Went and retraced my tracks on the off chance that I might find it but it was long gone. Was pretty mad at myself about that one lol still am. Gonna have to break down and pick one up but I haven't been able to find a black one that'll matxh my bike.

    That's good to know, I'll keep an eye out for x stuff as well now.

    Thanks tabaka, those looks awesome. Almost thought about ordering til I saw that they're midnight blue. My bike's black, I think the photo I posted makes it look dark blue on some screens.
