   Had plenty of bikes, before my legs got old. Some
   are easy, some not at all. Liked the big heavy
   cruisers, pref for Japanese.

   The overall 'best' car today is probably Toyota,
   but Honda's are very reliable too (NOT sure about
   accessing the bits these days however).

   KINDA in the market for another car - never buy
   new, always "tested". Maybe a simple Corolla.
   A couple of Subaru's look OK but tend to get
   a more premium price. Frankly NOT hot on 'smart'
   cars at all. I'd love a '69 Falcon with the 200
   six ... had one long long ago. Super-simple, a
   tank, you could kinda literally climb into the
   hood to get at the parts, adequate performance,
   didn't report your every move to the company.
   Could maybe add a little selected 'smartness'
   with a PI ....
