how many miles can she GO!!

My little hot-rod was just coming up to 300,000 miles when I wrecked it out. Yes, it was like grandfather's axe but the cases and frame were original as were a lot of the bearings in the motor and gearbox.

 

Since the newer bikes are more powerful and probably not as well made they will probably wear stuff out quicker but they're not really any more difficult to work on than the older ones, lets face it, the motor hasn't really changed in 40 years, (hi-Cams excepted. And even them it's only the top end.). Mind you in its last guise my little hot rod was making 84 RWBHP and the only thing it used to wear out a lot of was big end shells.
