I'm not a guy with tons of cash that can afford one... they almost all look the same around here, besides why would i spend 20 grand on something I can only use 5 months out of the year.... my '81 special project has given me the opportunity to have something I never thought i could have as a poor nursing student... my own custom, i build, i ride.... as i get more $$ i do more customization..... whether people talk shit or not these bikes get respect on the street.

I've been wanting to build a bike of my own for a long time, and have always looked to the XS650 as a proven, solid platform to start with. Sure, I could've bought a Sporty, I've had a couple of them already. The thing is that the cost of the bike before any work is done will most likely be more than a completed XS chop. So last spring I took the plunge and bought a bare frame and a rolling donor. It's coming along great, and I hope to have it completed by spring. At least I'll have the satisfaction that I: A: Built it myself B: Have something that 99.9% of other riders don't have C: If it breaks I can fix it on my own Let the detractors say what they want about XS chops, but I'll bet only a handful of 'em could meet the three reasons above.
