Hullo there - I'm from the atlantic coast of the Uk, I have had my XS for 15 years, and its lovely, though a bit poorly in the engine department. I also have a Ducati 750ss and a Morini 350 strada (in bits).
this is my XS

Welcome. There is lots of good info here. Since you're a veteran owner I'll be picking YOUR brain!

Is that the same bike as this? Saw it at a local vintage show I rode to in Oct.

Here look at the rest of the bikes at the show. Lots of cool stuff. At least the ones that interested me enough to get pictures.

Thats the one, or almost. Thats a Sport , which gets higher comp pistons, an entirely pointless steering damper (these things had the expression "runs on rails" created for them) and a gorgeous 4ls front drum.
y Strada has a disc, alloys and an electric starter thats utterly useless. Which is a bit irritating as its got a left hand kicker.
I'm currently hunting for a replacement set of Marzocchi forks (or something a bit more modern) after the ex-landlady i got my garage from went a bit bonkers and threw out the sliders (she thought they were curtain rails, the mad old bat)
