    When does it stop?

    It seems like you're never finished buying parts for these little bikes. There is always one piece of chrome you're replacing or you found one of the elusive pieces that are hard to come by in NOS form. Gotta love these little guys......

    So true! Once you replace that part you've been dieing to swap out there's always another to step in and take it's place.

    Hey, these things don't break themselves!
    At the end of the season, I try to evaluate how much fun I 've had by which parts I broke and how much replacing them cost!
    Its like counting the empties on a Saturday morning.

    It never stops !! Everytime I think I am done I find another one. I just wish I wouldnt have sold what I had in the past. It is an addiction there is no treatment for.

    Thats why I have decided that after an air filter and seat(on the way) I am done. I could spend thousands on this little bike but I need to curve my spending.

    These things are incredibly addictive.
