Well, this looks to be the place to come to for all things XL related. Some how over the yrs, never managed to have an XL. Close, SL, XR, TLR, but no XL. Recently picked up a '72 XL250:



Got my first Honda in 1965, an S-65, which I still have. Seems I buy 'em, but never sell them. Haven't counted them all lately, but I currently own around 23-25 bikes. Most Honda's, but a Penton Steel tanker, a little kaw and a Yamaha SRX250. I raced off/on, a bit of everything for about 10yrs and have been riding ever since that first bike back in 1965. I play around a lot, restore, rebuild, recreate as I see fit with the old bikes.

If ya like pics, here are a few of my bikes and projects:

Here's the Penton that I have owned since 1972


My project from last winter, turned a $200 Ebay find CB400f into a replica of a RC172 GP bike:



An old Elsie, 1976 that I restored:


GOing the other direction, a '78 GL1000 I restored:


My version of what a Honda Ascot FT500 should have looked like:


A bike that Honda should have built, a CRF200R as I call it (CRF450 chassis/XR200 motor)


A current project, CB750 streettracker


My good ol RWB granddaddy of sportbikes


Aw heck, a group shot of some more down in the barn:


Oh, yeah, my daily rider, Valkyrie Tourer



Am looking forward to geting some more info on the old XL250. INterested in converting it into an AHRMA racer. Love some of the bikes in the photo gallery!!
