Oh, I lurve it

I remember Su Pollard being worried about one in You Rang, M'Lord?

The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Looks rather nice that.

 

It is. I'll give it a week on Fleabay. Starting price £999; no reserve.
If it sells, I've doubled my money, which is nice. If it doesn't, I keep
it and flog the 550 instead.

Nice bloke ain't he. Never phone him for a 'quick' bit of advice
though, you need at least an hour spare just for XS related chit chat

He might be dead, but he still keeps Borg on the phone for hours at a

Months and months ago. Last year, I think. Topped himself.

****, I'm gutted. I hadn't spoken to him for maybe 4 years or more
now, not since my last XS was sold. I was thinking of a trip down
there as well. Is the shop still there or has that gone as well now.

Isn't Borg welsh?

 

You know... I think you might be right.

last summer, june or july 2004

 

I see it's a single disc. Did the Septic ones have that, or is it
buggered around with? Just that mine has two.

 

It would be ideal. But I'm not buying it. No, I'm not. I don't need
another bike. No, not at all.

 

Gone. His son closed it down and flogged off all the stuff.

 

All US models had a single disc as standard. UK roadster XS650 models
had two smaller discs. All Custom models, sold anywhere, had one large
disc.

XS2 had single disc. XS1 was drum (eek!).

Dam no more Halco stuff. What a real shame.

I still had plans in the back of my head for a XS650 Roadster with the
1140 big bore kite and all the extras


I do miss my Roadster, one of the few bikes I wish I hadn't sold and
one of the few that would get me back on two wheels.

On the XS 650 theme this site might be useful to someone

Now that *is* a good site. thanks for posting that.

And, in late news, a poster says he definitely wants the GPz550. So
I'll have to cancel the auction for the XS650 and keep it.

Next problem - how to explain this to The Doctor. I mean, the GPz was
the sensible economical winter hack, and the XS650 is pure
self-indulgence. If I put dropped bars and a cockpit fairing on it
would she notice the difference?
