Hi Leonard,
Yup, just since May; only about four months. The main thing is I got a relatively good one to start except w/ 4 fugly rims & tires. I happened to have had the Torq-Thrusts & a Craigslist find got me good (if tall) rubber for $80. I did all fluids, filters, belts, hoses myself in an afternoon for under $100, then scored the valve covers & air cleaner for another $150 from eBay. Appearence wise that's about all I've done.

Mechanically & electrically is another story; an expensive story too because of labor but she
runs great now. I don't use it as a daily, but I COULD reliably and safely which is where I
wanted to get as quickly as possible
