since you feel you must point this out

first paragraph is due to OP stating that he has been riding since 1955.

second paragraph is because some of you guys think riding 1000-1500
per year is a lot and the OP may fall in to that category.

in other words you may have been licensed for 20-30-40 years or more but that doesnt mean you have many actual miles in the saddle.
you know, the soft tail that is 10 years old and only has 3500 on the ODO.

Yeah. My dad bought that brand new in 69. It has 11,000 miles. We completely restored it a couple of years ago. Won the AMC America Cup in 09 (you can only win that once).

There aren't very many people that know what it is.

I drive it to the grocery store now...lol.
