[QUOTE="harfooz, post: 1337849, member: 19060"] I can understand the multiple bike syndrome, but you've already got more modern refinements in an FJR platform. Maybe look for a garage queen in something completely different? (Says the guy with the FJR and the FLHX) But about the Gen I, count me among those for whom the heat thing is a non-issue. However I do wear gear...even in the heat of a SC summer. That's not many miles on a bike at all. While things won't be "worn down" you can count on replacing several parts that might be rubber-based. I learned the hard way from bringing home a barn-find truck from my parents' estate: a vehicle that sits is going to need a lot of attention -- even after getting the mouse nests and spider webs out of it. Getting something older into running order is fun, but plan on doing some work that you won't get reimbursed! Perhaps look into the tax and insurance hit that such a purchase might give you. The taxes ought to be low. The insurance....??? 'fooz [/QUOTE]
