Rubbish!! I know some guys who ride the stink out of their old bikes. One
guy here has ridden two 1400+ mile trips on his 34 Indian this summer alone.
And hats off to him, by the way. His only failure was leaving the ign on
and killing the battery one night.
My Eldo has well over a quarter million miles on it and I would ride it
anywhere. When people say the old Guzzi's can't hang I tell 'em to bring
THEIR bike back when it's old enough to buy a liquor drink. Mine is way
past that age and it'll still be kickin' if they do make it back. I'd by
'em the drink if they did! ;-)
