I hope I just threw away $680

Im glad it's worked out and m.g. is going to just ride and not worry, be happy, and the extended warranty is a good idea, (I agree) but I thought I'd address the 800lb gorilla in the room.

What is that, you ask?... How many of us keep our bikes five years?

Speaking for myself, I am thoroughly happy with and am enjoying my CB and have no desires on anything else. (I also have a Honda NT in my garage) But, since I returned to riding in 2000, I've owned 9 or 10 bikes, not counting a couple others I've owned at the same time just to play around with. On average, I've kept my "main ride" 2- 2 1/2 years before I see a different "must have".

2 years for 600 Ninja, 35K miles, upgrade to 900
24 years for 900 Ninja with 65K miles
CB1100....still counting
