My father, now turning 81 has decided to give up riding. He handed down his 2004 Councours with 64,000 miles, bougt new. My wife and I flew to Apache Junction AZ, did some maintance (valves, tires, brake/clutch/rear-end fluid), then drove home to Mission Viejo, CA.
The bike ran fantastic, very smooth; impressive suspension. I gave it a good detail once home, now looking great. I'm hoping to replace the windshield, due to scratches, etc. Hopefully, I can find a bargain as $200 seems steep for such an old bike.
