| Zer, Right on. Part of owning a 30 year old bike is dealing with the fact that |

| problems here and there but for the most part the will last much longer |
| other bikes (read that HD's). When I see Loops with 100k miles or when I hear stories like Charlie's ( 3000 miles on a 69 unrestored Ambo) I know that these bikes are reliable beasts. Their beauty is a bonus :-) Bob.....the first year you had the bike you wondered whether you had made the right choice. Then you worked out the bikes and were happy. Everytime the bike has a problem you will feel that way. Get use to it....part of owning a 30 year old bike. If you don't want to tinker....get a 2001 |
OK....I am off the soap box and heading back into the garage to continue making my 70 Ambo not only reliable but even more pretty as well. Enjoy the weekend folks...Ian
