Mine has over 67,000 miles on it, and many others on here actually ride their bikes as well, and have high mileage. |
Hey benzo, if I may interject. Have you ever seen the empire strikes back? The character yoda? Very wise and skilled but critical of lukes youth and stupidity? Thats kinda like tweety on here. :rotf::rotf::rotf: Clap Clap (:-}) |

I might be able to do it at work though My Hawk has 41k on it.
b) While there definitely are things to mess up, the special tools you need are a couple of screw drivers and socket wrenches. It's not hard to get into and work on the carbs, and doesn't take much space either, but if you have no place to store/work on it that's your biggest hickup. If you do it yourself, and especially take pictures, these guys will help along the way and offer quite a bit of help and save you time/money... |
I feel your pain as working on a bike here in NYC on the sidewalk is pretty traumatic. Kinda hard too if you dont finish it by dark & have an immobilized bike. I have had to push it 8 blocks back to my garage.
