B.S. My bike has had more shop time in its first 3000 miles than any other bike I have owned... oh wait thats not entirely true...I had a 79 Bonneville that had more time...I'm (we're) just willing to overlook these issues because...well... love is blind




And if our bikes are as reliable as we tell ourselves, which I think the verdict is still out on...it didn't matter when we bought them. We didn't know one way or the other, the same as when anyone else buys their bikes.

Tom's '53 seems to run just fine. Wonder how well ours will run in 50 years?
