Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've been here. I'm gearing up for another kidney killer ride. 1200 miles in 48 hours (aprox. 1950km)! It should be a bad ass ride (pun not intended). But on a serious question how many miles can I expect the little thing to survive. I've put over 10,000 miles on it since November and by Sunday night It'll have about 11,500 miles on it. It is of course, doing all the fun Savage quirks. The spedo buzzes (what the hell is that!)the engine has the ring of oil, and just recentely this squeeking noise has started coming from the (I think)rear tire (what the hell is that also!) Any one have any idea on whats most likely to wear out in this engine first. Geers, piston, ect...I'll try to post pictures of this ride, and the ones of my last ride ride to the phone booth, as soon as I have those one re-developed (beer and pictures don't seem to mix well but they make a great glue. They're still stuck to the floor.
