I have a soft spot in me about keeping a old classic on the road. I have a feeling I'm not alone in this. I know alot of this was in good fun on his part but it still struck me as kind of odd. If we all had brand new bikes this section of the forum would'nt be any fun at all. I think I've discovered a new addiction since I've been posting with all of you on here..My wife would agree...
