Tell that to my buddy whose 12 year old Concours just broke 90k miles.

Man... I guess I should just throw away my FZ. It's 5 years old and has 17k miles on it. It's gonna fail on me at anytime. :roll:
You're gonna be tooling down the highway and the whole thing is just going to explode underneath you. Better sell it quick :twisted:


sigh.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

But if YOU DID need to take it to a dealer they would obviously work you over "'cause you are not an expert like MotoF150" blah blah, blah blah..... :spike:
