I had a couple of bummers. They ran and handled well enough and held up rather well. Not much personality though, nothing like the Brit and US made bikes I've owned and loved. I sort of rode a friends leadwing once. Well, I got as far as riding it out of his garage, turned around on his drive and rode it right back in. I hated it. Next nearest encounter was with a guy on the side of the road with a leadwing that was making strange noises because it was out of oil. I had a couple cans with me, and when it had oil, it poured out the side of the crankcase just below the left front cylinder. If it were a bummer I would have thought he had a split pushrod tube.
