Must be something to do with the cold weather, the craftsmanship is beautiful. I wish I had the talent to do something half as good. A true masterclass of what can be done with an xs. Brilliant

at first look everything was correct, but after further inspection i noticed that the usual front ski backets were missing and do you think there’s enough room to run a set of chains under that rear fender??

No need to sell your sporty– I’ll keep an eye out and you can have both. Or build one of mine…

Fantabulous! This ride is awesome. Have a friend who is building these bikes and picking them up from all over to build. I told him about this one and that it is the look I would be after. Damn, I might just have to sell my Harley and build one like this. Think I’d call it “Total Package”

It’s rare to find an XS in Finland that does not have skis on it. The bike is called El Vagabundo Segundo, Finnish for “Hold My Beer.” An alternate translation could be, “Turn up the sauna.” Described by his friends as “Embittered,” Jussi Lindgren can empty a bottle of Kossu faster than his XS can do the quarter mile. He is embittered because, as he puts it, “There’s a lot of blondes in Finland. This, however, hardly makes up for the short riding season.” He continued, “STP stops teenage pregnancy, and they don’t sell it here.” This explains why many of the children in Helsinki look like him. “When I’m riding my XS,” says Jussi, “every day is Valentine’s Day.”

“I customized this bike to get chicks,” he said ruefully. “It worked a little too well.”

Finland is renowned as the world’s second largest exporter of ice cubes, trailing slightly behind Canada.
