The price was right ($0, sat in a shed for 6.5 years) and I still only have about $1200 into it. I put about 12,000 miles a year on it, sometimes getting paid for it as I can use it for a work vehicle. It still isn't pretty but runs better than any vehicle I have ever had.

Lucky I've been looking for one for awhile.

Sneads Ferry, ,
Got my first bike around 1960-61 200cc Ducati. I was still in high school so I couldn't drive anything else. Kept it though first semester of college and left it to my brother when I left for service. I rode an assortment while in service and afterward while finishing college. About 1972 I learned about Motocross/Trials/Enduro and changed over to two strokes for a while. Unfortunately kids intervened for an interim but am back on the road with two wheels. Current ride is a 1992 Honda Shadow that looks showroom fresh. Although a trip to the range gets it left in the shed (too many toys to carry) it still takes about 3 days to wipe the smile off my face after a lengthy ride.

Started riding in 1982. Currently on a KTM Super Duke, mostly Triumphs before that with an occasional Honda. Its my summer commuter, I don't do snow or below 40 degrees!
