Hi,
I'm Lou, have moved from Collector NSW to just outside Canberra, I've just about finished my 81RH that I bought in June 09 covered in sap and pine needles, all that is left is to put the airfilter and seat  back on and the bike is together, I've taken it for a ride and it runs quite well, its showing 33,000ks on the clock.
Other bikes are 1995 BMW K1100LT with 196,000K's, 1977  BMW R100/7 with 208,000K's, 1999 Yamaha WR400 and a 1980 Kwaka KZ250 that I've just picked up to work on.

Cheers.

Lou

Hi everyone,
I'm Glenn from Nabiac.
I had 3 XS1100RH, gave one to a cousin who lives in Townsville, still have 2. One is ready to ride except for rego, the other is a long way off. I have an XS1100G which is at about 80%.
Other bikes '74 Honda XL175, '76 XS750. '81 XS650SH, '95 XJ900 Diversion, '02 XVS1100 with a sidecar, '09 GSX1400.
My kids bikes? '99 XVS650, '09 SV650S Suzuki, grandkids bikes...........TTR 110E and a PW50.
Mobile number 0422 668 951.
I live on 10 acres and have a HUGE shed full of crap.
I ride with a group of seniors ex-Taree when I am up to it.
Favourite ride is from Nabiac to Casino via Grafton then to Murwillumbah via Nimbin.
Major like............XS1100RH...............major dislike...........small feul tank, I need the huge European optional tank.
Covers all bases.
Cheers

Brian in Melbourne. 81 XS1100RH.



Was off the bikes for 11 years when I saw this in the trading post.

No kind of engineer, but with the help of the guys on the UK site and guys like Christian I have muddled through all of the basic stuff, changed the coils etc. etc.

Owning an XS has very rewarding and it hasn't depreciated which is a bonus.
