Sunday September 24, 2006, 25th year Osyter Run in Anacortes Washington.

If the weather was anything like last year turn out should be good.

2004 7 months work and play 18500km
2005 7 months work and play 14000km

Early 750 Shadow(twin) had valve lash adjusters, and 750 Nighthawk(four). Don't know of any others.

Welcome aboard

Feel free to ask questions, you'll meet a lot of nice people in here.

Would be glad to hear about any good rides in Texas as I may add your state next year into my Western US tour.

Yes for sure we all smell like exhaust, whether it's coming from your own exhaust pipe or other cagers. Try standing in a room of smokers and see how you turn out.

I'm really happy with my 599. It's almost the same except the 919 has two mufflers at the back-nice balanced look. Handling, performance great.....seems to be a natural progression coming from the 750.

XS650 twin has a very reliable engine. It's designed to copy classic British bikes, however it does vibrate quite a bit. If you put the bike on the centre stand and rev to 3500rpm you can walk backwards along with the bike. Handling is average for a custom bike, although the handlebar design causes ...

Looks really sharp. I like the colour.....but then again it's the same as my bike
