My shovel was my daily and long haul machine for decades, put over 60K on her my first 2 years out here in Ca. running amok and exploring the west coast. Had a few issues but nothing that couldn't be fixed roadside or in somebodies back yard. That isn't happening on a twinkie or later machine anymore. .

Simplicity has a quality all it's own and is very underrated in today's world.
