Bob,

My first long distance ride on the 69 Ambo was to the National in

I think the trip ran about 1500 miles. Of course I got the jitters about
possible failures along the way but they could have happened just as

50 miles from home (in fact that did happen on a local ride once....blew

coil 20 miles from home).

I think if you get the bike set up right and it is inherently sound it
should run forever. Of course simple failures can happen at any time and

bring along spares for that. As for the major failures I believe you can

those coming if you watch over the bike carefully. Of course failures can
occur but you can't let that stop you.

Be sure that the bike will run in the wet....and you too. Make sure the
points, timing and rocker clearances are set right. Always fresh oil and
fluids (checking the old stuff for filings). Nuts and bolts tight. Proper
tire pressure.

And most important...the right "Just Do It" attitude. Once you are out

you will become one with the bike and the trip will become a pure joy.

I did four rallies this summer and that wasn't enough.....Ian

Ian,
Well, now that my bike is reliable (and now that I started this thread) I
will have to come to the next Loop ralley. That will be a big deal for

I want to be but have not yet been a long distance rider on account of I
have never had a really reliable bike. I also know a lot more about bikes
than I used to. It's like Tim Crump said, I think it was Tim, these are
easy bikes to fix by the side of the road. I just got some neat old

saddle bags and I am looking for a cheap, lightweight tent on the

I'm getting ready. Bob
