I'm on my second one, first was an 86, current one is a 2000 with only 20K on it. I really like this bike, it does everything I ask, fits me like a old pair of jeans and still puts a smile on my face when I walk away and look back at it. Just last weekend I did some long overdue maintenance, changed the oil/filter, rear diff grease/oil, suspension oil change shock/fork, brake pads, new tires and a general cleaning up. Man, it looks good! Valves are still good, starts easy, runs sharp and the first ride showed I should have done the suspension sooner. Much nicer ride now, much better connection with the road, looking forward to next summer already. I've ridden the new Connies and they are nice but for the money I'm just not going to get rid of this girl unless I win the Lottery or something. But then I'd probably still keep it as a buddy bike...
