Dave... and anyone else who cares to read this drivel.. don't know if
you like to keep track of the exploits (modest as they are) of one of
your bikes (Heather)... but just a little gushing. A great
motorcycle!... pushing towards 2 years of ownership. Always starts, runs
very smooth, looks very cool, dead reliable. Does 2 hundred miles as if
it were 2. I've got a lot of "deferred" maintenance I feel guilty
about.. timing chain tensioner, slight dribble from the clutch push rod,
little moist around the master cylinder and a spot under the tank, feel
like I need to grease splines, inspect ujoints, etc., etc.... but I'm
just having so much fun riding her... I hate to lay her up, even
temporarily. I hope I'm riding this Eldo when I'm 90.. I may not make it
that far, but have no doubt she will. I also know I'm tempting fate by
bragging on her... but what the hell. Thanks Dave! Bill
