Got a pair of 1986 Suzuki Intruders for my summer fun. Bought the maroon one from the original owner 3 years ago. Black one was maroon when I bought it last year, but had to change it to black. Nice riding bikes.

This is my 1982 XS 1100 Yamaha.
She's a classic and that is what I like the most about her.

She wasn't in good shape when I got her, she'd been high sided and had a bad case of road rash, and she wasn't running very well. I have fixed her up some and got her running decent, but there's a lot to do yet.

750cc. I bought one of the first ones in Canada in 1985 and really enjoyed it, so now I have three, one is a parts bike.

Thanx for the praise on my bike guys! Kegriver, I used to have a 78 Yamaha XS1100, with the big frame mounted fairing & bags. That bike just kept goin, I think it was 30 years old by the time I parted with it. BTW for any of the forum members that are interested, I work as an Instructor at Fairview College campus of GPRC, in the Harley-Davidson program. If you are passing by this way, shoot me a PM and I can arrange a tour of the facility.

1977 yamaha XS 650 Special.

No hot rod by far but it's a great gas saver and a fun ride. The ol twin engine's really bounce around on the main stand in idle it will make it's way across the parking lot. LOL

Bike still only has 21k on her.

Take him up on the offer. I have been in the Harley shop at the Fairview campus and it is well worth your time. Buddy of mine used to work in the IT dept at the college and got a pretty good tour of the place. And I shouldn't say this but bring your rod. The college has a stocked pond and I caught a 5lber out of there in September.
