 1st Stage with Headers and Open Air Cleaner. 30,000 miles and zero mechanical problems. 4 years old and still kicking. Rode it to Bike Week in 2009, had terrible weather. 2007 was the best year for quality at the motor company. After that it was hit and miss for a while. Labor trouble.ETC. Only thing replaced were cosmetic items like a lock on a hard saddle bag. |

2005 ST1300 - 80,000 miles and all I do is the scheduled maintenance by the book. Fluids regular as clockwork. Before that a Honda Valkyrie. All the bikes I've had have been good, but then all have been meticulously maintained apart from the first I owned at age 16.  A Honda S90. A friend told me I had sparks coming out of the exhaust. That was when I realised I needed to add oil. Oh yeah, at about the same time the chain started slipping. I guess you know the reason why. That bike took a beating and I learned a lot from it. |

Probably the BMW K75S that I had just prior to the Valkyrie. It never need anything but routine Maint.
I couldn't include the Valk because it had to have a new clutch 2 yrs. ago.

This one. Close second was a 78 CB750, It would have won except for that chain drive, hate to mess with those things. Hoser  |

Love that Yellow Bike Joe,
It just has a different sound than the the other ones.
I guess cause I got to watch you and Gordon and Greg build it might have something to do with that
also.
How many miles now?
