They may well be 'bread winners'.......but I will not compromise my integrity for mere financial gain......some peeps around here really need to grasp that concept ie. I will speak my mind in an honest way based on my experience, whether it hurts my pocket or not :idea:

Just so pleased that Maz and I share the same principles. Even more pleased that my experience relates to riding them rather than spannering them so I can justify loving them 8-) Sold two XB12SSs this week, one to Germany, the other to Colchester and I'm sure both new owners will love them as much as I do :yup:

The fact remains that there are many XB's out there which will need some 'Maz-lovin' and many punters who will want you to give their 'pride and joy' some tlc.

I know that you don't rate them as a well constructed and technically sound bike, but the fact is that many of us love them purely for the pleasure they give us. I hope you will acknowledge this fact and be tolerant of our weaknesses, and give our bikes a bit of respect. xxx

Cant fault you there Jill......and as anybody who has watched me spanner their XB will tell you, I treat them with great respect......my name and reputation mean that every bike I spanner is treated as if it were my own ;)
