I confess that I know little about all those 'mechanic sounding terms'. I buy Honda's (1998 1100 Shadow, 2005 VTX 1800c, and now a 2016 F6B Deluxe) because I'm an operator and not a maintainer. I have bikes that run forever with next to no maintenance required, and have only been stranded three times. My Shadow had the gasket that the shift rod runs through fail, my X had a battery go flat (but that was my fault), and a flat tire on my X. Hopefully I don't have to turn in my license because I don't know a bore from a boar.

Just enjoying the rides....
