Got to the point that at 72 the forward controls, and seating position on the Harley just weren't working for me anymore. Saw this allegedly low mile 78 Bonneville on Craigs list that was close by. It belonged to a nice young man that just didn't have the knowledge, or experience to deal with it, and wanted out. He had spent several grand on parts and "Professional" service fee's, and still wasn't happy with it. I've owned several Brit bikes over the years, and raced and maintained a 65 TT120 flat tracker back when, so I'm pretty confident I can cure it's issues. will be nice to be riding something a lot lighter, and better suited to doing the twisty's, and B roads that I favor. The clip on bars will be going, and will give it a thorough going over soon, but need to finish up The mill first. Mike
