How many previous XS11 riders here?

[Money Venture]

I have had an XS11 for 8 years and just purchased my 87 recently. I see some of the names look familiar from the other site. Could it be coincidence or am I late to the party?

 

Nice to get to know everyone.

I had a 1979 XS1100 for years, then switched to the Venture and never looked back. Oh, and you are late to the party, but better late than never.

I've owned an xj1100 for more than 25 years....it was the successor to the xs1100

XS1100 was my first bike in 81. Had it for 2 years before I got a Venture. Was a great learning machine for me.

I bought a new 81 XS11 and I sould it in 1990 and bought it back two years later. It needs a lot of work to get it back on the road. I am a member of the XS11.com and have been to the last two SE Rallies at the Iron Horse and the E Rally in Bridgeport WV.

I had an 81 XS1100, sold it when I bought my 1st 84 Venture. I thought I would end up doing bodily harm to myself with the XS. The Venture seemed a little tamer.

 

Now I have a Venture that is equal to XS1100 performance, but I feel more comfortable with it.

Owned a 1980 XS1100 GREAT bike then bought a HD (bad decision) Then I got a 83 VENTURE (smart move).........

Is anyone planning to attend the XS11 rally in Skids and Dan's back yard in May? I am about 75 % sure I am going.

I had a 79 XS1100 that I bought new. I had it until about 1996.
