Just wanted to introduce myself and give you a short backgound. I started my two wheel obsession when i was about 10 on a yz80. That lead to the next 13 years or so on a motocross track or trail riding. I never really got the reason why people love an American v twin until i rode a Sportster will 1200 jugs. Needless to say i figured it out then, but still had a speed bug and a HD at the time wouldnt do it for me. My first sport bike was a CBR600F2, kinda like the bike but still wanted that low end grunt. From there spent time on Ducati`s and BMW boxers for about 10 yrs. Then came kids and out went the bikes. Until I finally talked the wife into another. It wasnt easy since we had been together since we where 16 and watched me get twisted up alot in motocross. Never the less I purchased a new Triumph Daytona 675. Two years later little suprise #3 came away went the bike. So in order to fill my bike need i began to find old Honda CB`s and cafe' them out, built a few but it still didnt fill the need. Then when i sold the last one i did i remembered a day i rode a buddies XB. The search was on didnt take long about 5 mins on CL. Found the perfect one. 2004 xb12s, 15k on the clock in almost new like condition. Picked it up for $2400 from a guy that went down on another bike week before and was gun shy now. Ok so not so short but hello to all on here been reading alot on here sounds like i found the right spot to be. When i get time i'll get some pics on, about the only time i get to sit on the computer is lunch break.
