    So some of the other forums I'm on for cars have a area for sightings. I saw a nice XJ last night in Barrie and i was wondering if he was on the forum.

    Is there something like that on here?

    If not, would anyone like something like that?

    Since I got my bike i've been looking for other XJ owners and would love to see if anyone else from Barrie frequents this site.

    Even just a sticky thread in the general lounge would be great!

    Barrie? Any other clues to your location? I'm sure Barrie is kinda like Springfield, every state has several towns by that name.

    So many great things used to happen at Molson park. now it's getting turned into a shopping/office park.

    http://www.parkplacebarrie.com/

    should be pretty nice when it's done.

    I saw what looked like a light blue Maxim down near the Delaware beaches this summer on my way to OC MD and a red Maxim near me by the Philly Intl Airport a few weeks ago.

    Come on guys, it seems like you're into this idea, let's get some votes so that the mods have solid proof that this is something that we want in here!

    99% sure I saw a 750 Maxim last night in St John's and I still think Victa has a good idea. Sighting threads in the GL slip off the radar pretty quickly.

    Hope all's well fellow XJ-ers!

    Saw an old Yammy the other night on North ave near Mayfair Mall (Milwaukee).
    Couldn't properly ID it, front spokes were the 'swooped' style and it was doing a kinda whistle thing that I thought someone else mentioned here on a SECA?

    There is always the map section here in this forum...it would be great if all members posted their location......then one could get a feel for other XJ riders around their area......

    if not riding...then they are probably out in their driveway forking working on it....

    I reckon there is probably only 4-5 here in NZ (road worthy) so the chances of seeing another one is slim.
