I was forced to ride my wife´s learner bike (82 gl500) when I burned up 2 78 Honda cb 750´s in one year. They just couldn´t take the mileage. Well this was 18 months ago and let me tell you 12 trips to Michigan and 8 to Florida with countless weekend rides to Tenn. Ala. Ken. N.C. S.C. all leaving from Atlanta. One deer hit in Mich. and one 100 mile an hour "Controlled Landing" on a trip back from Deals Gap (http://www.dealsgap.com) and the only trouble I have had with it is that I keep breaking the fan witch pops the radiator all caused by popping to many dang wheelie’s. I still have my in-line four Hondas on I always will but next to them will always be the silver wing
