                Thanks, Nathan. Yeah, a freak spring ice storm, IIRC, '95. the SH was bought in '89 for $900. I thought it was a steal with a bit over 1200 mi on it. Now it's got 45k and still smooth as silk.

                  Heck thats a good deal I would say! I paid 600 for mine last spring, was not even put together, and it had about 24000 on it.
