I do so hope this actually happened. It is very funny, in the category of Cant make this up. You are absolutely correct about the top part. 80,000 miles on a Z-1 and a Road King. Not a scratch.
Awesome. I have over 100,000 on various Hondas--Shadow A.C.E., VTX1800, and now a Gold Wing.
I cannot claim the "Not a Scratch" though. Had an accident on my VTX a few years ago that put me in the hospital for a few days.
