We met up in Ellenboro NC with my friends Jason, Brian and Jeff... I met up with Jason first. Jason has been getting ALOT of attention on his XS over at XS650chopper.com, and I was super stoked to take this thing for a ride when he offered. Jason has a bone stock XS engine, but it has been rephased and has a few of my little tricks inside... Jason fired it up with 1 kick and it came rumbling to life...
I grabbed my helmet and jumped on... I got about 20 yards down the road before I really got on it, and man did it go... This thing was running stout! I hit the end of the road, started slamming gears into a long straight away and saw a decent spot at a church I could turn around in... I slipped the clutch a little, drifted through the turn and headed full throttle back to Jason's place...
I got back to his driveway and Jason was laughing... It seems his wife was at the Church I had turned around at, and called him ASAP when she saw his bike. I think the conversation went something like this:
Jason: Hey Sweetie
Jason's Wife: That had better not be you riding your motorcycle!!
Jason: No Honey, Hugh is riding it, he's taking it for a test spin, is everything ok?
Jason's Wife: Good thing, because if I EVER see you riding like that, I'm gonna cut your nuts off and then kill you!!!!!!!
Jason: Yes Honey, Hugh is almost back, I love you....
Jason's Wife: You better! You almost gave me a Heart Attack!
Jason: Yes Honey....
Needless to say, there was a good time to be had laughing about that in the driveway when I got back... I told him he needed a stronger clutch so I can pull wheelies next time - haha...
The next morning we headed the SmokeOut. Tevan (shop helper) and I were in the truck, so I got him to shoot some pics as we headed down the road... Brian and Jason were rocking come sweet custom XS's, and Jeff was riding some form of HD....
