After the trip across the United States...

The only things that the bike suffered from was a dry battery, bald tire, broken odometer, and a stripped suspension adjustment bolt.

Note heat was 104 record the entire trip.

Battery dried up at about New Orleans after riding from New Orleans to Key West.
Battery dried up again once I reached Seattle.

Tire went bald in Moab, Utah.
Odometer quit about halfway across the states.

And top suspension bolt was stripped by the time I got to Seattle.

That's it. Pretty good for such an inexpensive bike.
I love this bike. Although, not the coolest bike... sometimes I feel like I am riding a tractor. It is a freakin tractor. It will pull you out of the worst shit you can imagine. I love this bike. It's the difference between a Porsche and a Ford truck! I choose the truck... fuck Porsches! I love Porsches too. But this bike is the bike that will pull you back from hell as you hold on. I love it!
