Craigslist Craving
Actually I think the one I want is the XB9SX City, which had the translucent bodywork, hand guards and 1000-rpm higher rev ceiling, but this southern California-raised 2008 XB12 Lightning S is so swell and well-preserved, with just 5100 miles on the clock, that it could definitely do. Unfortunately for me, it may be a little too perfect. As Greg McQuide used to say of bikes so clean and well-cared-for, “you know what’s coming…”
I did get a big tax refund this year, but the kid has another semester of college, but what I really need is some kind of dual sport, but this thing is collectible I tell you, an investment, but… I actually posted it because I know Gabe Ets-Hokin needs an XB. You’re welcome, Gabe.

Why did I just buy that FXDLX?!? There is always another bike out there to covet, dang. For me, chasing riches was not part of the picture but when it comes to bike ownership and a big garage......that would would not have been a bad side effect. I guess like Jackson Brown sang, it'll just have" to be somebody's baby", somebody else that is.
Bwahaha! I went to the launch for this bike, the Buell Lightning XB12 STT, held on *beautiful* Ortega highway...
