Hello Folks!....it only took me since 1985 to get here but here I am. I am rebuilding my young guy toy after 20 years of seeing it wallow away in the garage in pieces. I have lots to do and probably lots to ask. Excuse me for a bit but I have to look for a new bearing I bought in 1985......;-)

Hello all,
I did spend a lot of time on the Bikeguy forum but due to a lot of things i lost contact to that forum and when i found it back i missed a lot of familiar names. Like Elwood, Radman etc.
But i see u guys started a forum on ur own, may i ask why.
Found this forum through a link there, I still have my XS ofcourse otherwise i wouldnt be here.
Anywayz, good to be here again tho im stil on the bikeguy forum as well.
Cheers for now
Kardon

I'm trying to work out how many XS 650 owners are left in England-UK. Since Halco closed down there have been less XS's on the road, we're starting up Palma Tuning an XS 650 only shop to help out the situation over here. I'd like you to let me know if your out there. We're based in Warwickshire, UK. (have a look at http://palmatuning.co.uk).

Hello All,
We live in wet and windy Britain. The XS650 is becoming a classic over here, most are moth balled in lock ups. When I tell people I'm making a bobber out of mine they think I'm strange. As for getting parts. If it's not new shiney and plastic the local bike shops don't want to know! Some of the younger staff think we're asking for antique parts. you lucky lot in the sunshine states don't know what your missing! Now that Triumph are back in business people think my xs must be a tatty one of those!

Just put myself on the map. It was the same with the guzzi group I'm in, there is no one else in Spain. The nearest people are in the UK. Mind you that poor guy in Helsinki, jeez is he far from anywhere.

OK, let's see how this first post goes.
Steve from south western PA. Or you can say Pennsylrainia.
Any case...starting to get a little nasty here, gray, wet, cool. Not real good bike weather.

Hello, TK from Douglasville, Georgia. About 35 minutes southwest of Atlanta. Get to ride pretty much all the time down here in the south. Seen 3 others from my neck of the woods on the map. Just got a 650 I'm wanting to get running. I thought it would be a great bike to work on with my son. We are hoping to make a hardtail bobber out of her. Look forward to picking some of you guys brains for info. I really don't know a whole lot about the xs650 except for the fact it has a strong following of dedicated guys that do some great restorations, and bobbers, and choppers. TK

Hi, Dek80 here,
just joined and added myself to the map.
I've got a pair of 650's, both need work. Hope to get ideas and help here.
See you round

Hello All!!! Have lurked around here for a while, but what finally did me in was the "You know you own an XS650 if..." list. It took me reading it a few times to find it funny and not saying to myself, " Yep, done that, and that, and that....."
Good stuff guys. I am glad I found some more who share my addiction/obsession with these great machines.
