16,000 miles gone camping with all our gear on the bike, been through several states, ridden in all summer weather conditions and haven't had a single problem. This is on 2 bikes since Wendy rides hers with me, one is an America and the other a Speedmaster. I have heard of them going well over 100,000 miles.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
