    The other night I was at the local gas station on my SECA. Buyin' a 30 rack of beer.. :twisted: N when I came out of the store. A guy that owned a BRAND NEW BMW Z3 Roadster. Came up 2 me n started 2 talk 2 me about my bike.... 8O He was sayin' how he bought the EXACT same bike that I had BRAND NEW. Same color in all! Named off every spec n detail of the bike. It blew me AWAY... So we shot the sh!t about the XJ 4 abit! :)

    Its nice to see people's faces light up when you tell them what you ride.

    The small bike shop I bought my helmet at has been around for probably 40 years. It's down to the owner, his oxygen tank and mechanic. They don't even take in whole bikes anymore, just parts (and don't sell bikes anymore, just parts). I told Glen, the mechanic what I had and 'back in the day' he used to race one (81 550 Seca). Had lots of stories and info. Killed over an hour talking and showing me pictures. Who knew this bike could go over 173 mph with the proper parts & tuning?

    Unfortunately, his racing days ended in a bad way. Hasn't been on a bike since

    People seem to like these babies. I can certainly see why. I know I am loving mine!
