It's kinda funny. My 68 GTX, 70 Superbee, 67 BSA Thunderbolt and now
the 97 FXDS are the only ones out of many I really felt/feel the need
to keep as pristine, did I just say pristine?, as possible. I want to
be able to count the hairs growing outa my nose when I look down at
the tank as I'm ridin! That and it'll be good therapy for gettin my
hand/thumb back in shape.
