When it rains, it pours

That's a real reason to be a little freaked out over bikes with some miles or years on them. Having a massive failure at speed is why so many people don't ride, or have stopped riding. A classic bike will want to run hard. I love looking at a 72 350 four, I would be scared to flog one of those like I flogged the one I owned in 1973.
