I must be the one soul - How many rebuilds you have on those Harley's at 44,000 miles? Both my new ones fell to pieces after 25,000 miles. I wonder why my earlier '74 Yamaha was rock solid after 37,000 miles in two years. I talked to the guy who bought it from me in Visalia, California last year who says it's still running well at 156,000 miles (of course it's a Triumph copy).
Don't brag to me about these HD pieces of garbage - I love to buy American when I can, but if I want a VTwin - I'll get a Kawasaki Nomad, made in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Like I said, Experience beats an argument every time.

Now, my youngest daughter is going to Texas for college this fall. I'll be riding out there a couple times, and going through Mississippi. Can I buy you lunch???
AND YES, I DO KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! Been there, done that, and the T-shirt's all that reminds me.
Ride Safe,
Dennis

Ride Safe, Dennis Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.
