I loved that video. Would like to see more. Is this part of a series touring on old bikes?
In any event, I cringe at the opening article's comment about old cars not being reliable. While engines these days can go many more miles without an overhaul, today's cars are often very difficult to repair when they do need work. My 1998 Toyota pick up with 160,000 miles, just had its heater core replaced, again. Number three is doing fine, but replacement requires removal of the steering wheel and entire dash. My first car was a B, and it was my only car for 12 years and 130,000 miles before it needed and engine overhaul. While it needed regular servicing, everything was easy and no oddball plastic clips to break on something that was never designed to be taken apart.
