My first motorcycle was early 60s HD 125 dirt bike (really an Aermacchi), 50 years later my last was a Honda St1300 with 35000 miles on it. I couldn't wear out either one of them. After owning 3 or 4 'modern Harley's' I came to hate them due to them becoming a status symbol for posers and their horrible reliability (the reason they use so many chrome parts on HD is so they are easier to find in the ditch after they've fallen off). Most of favorites were Yamahas.
