No dis intended F-106. I get the same treatment from my fellow riders as my '01 has gained over 15K since last June when I bought it and although it gets peppered with bugs here in north Texas on each and every ride, it gets wiped down after each one and washed when I can't get it clean enough with a wipe down. Mine's at 32K+ and just got new Galfer stainless braided brake lines and green led lights in the dash. Gotta love those good brake lines..... now it's a 2-finger stop each and every time without any change in feel. I've got to do a valve check one of these days. I ride at least 3 or 4 days a week and longer rides (150-200mi) each Sunday. Connie and I have been through Colorado, New Mexico and down to Big Bend all last year. Looking forward to another swing through Colorado this year when our temps get up near 100+. Keep on shining, she sure looks good. Mike
