I redid the engine, fresh piston and rings, new wrist pin and bearings, replaced the clutch and it went from an aging weakling to a fire breathing beast! It was the best bike I ever had, even better than the RD. > >> I mean a Mountain bike and an old Fuji I found behind a store and >> reworked into a decent bicycle. >> > Bicycles are cheap. Even WallWart sells suspension models. The mountain bike is a Mongoose I bought off my singer. He bought a better one. I readjusted and recalibrated everything and it works good. And I replaced the straight knobbies with Conti on/off tires that give it a much better ride on pavement. > > > >>>> Amazing after all these years the Doors still sound good. >>>> >>>> >>> Classics. >> >> But not cliched.

The HD in my first real computer broke just a few days before the one year warranty expired and it was replaced for free. Since then I've never had a computer break while it was still under warranty and I even had a 3 year warranty on one of them so a warranty could be a waste of money.
