I laughed at some guy yesterday who was talking about lookin' at a bike and commented how good it looked except that it had 30k on it. Really!? You think that's a lot dude? You would pass on a bike because it's been ridden? Holy cow! It's all about how it's cared for. And obviously the bird gets love, don't it?

Hell, I'd be inclined to believe a high mileage bike that looked good had probably been better maintained than a low millage one because it's owner/s were probably a lot like me and depended on it. When you depend on it, you take care of it.

Yup, getting an oil change today as a matter of fact. On my way to get supplies. I do really like this bike.

Now that is very cool!

But what else can you expect from a Honda?

Further proof that if taken care of, a Honda will run forever.
