Years ago I was sitting at an auto repair shop waiting for them to bring my car out. As I was waiting, there was an auto-salvage tow truck hauling away an incredibly awful looking 1965 Ford Mustang. It was beat to heck. I couldn't help but think about the day that the original buyer drove that off the lot and was the happiest person in the world.
My bikes and my cars, whether new or used get taken care of to the best of my ability. I bought them, and I never forget how much I paid for them.
