I got my somewhat high mileage bike from the original owner, It had 249K when I got it, I've boosted it up to 277K

One thing I got that is priceless is complete notes about bike maintenence.

Other thing I got from him was a shop manual with personal notations about parts repelaced, complete with part numbers.

I had a house fire back in December, lost most every thing I owned, but somehow the manual and the notebook with the history of my bike survived.

I think I was blessed in a couple of ways.

I was blessed that I was not killed in the fire, and I was blessed that my bike records were not destroyed.

Truth be known, I was 30 seconds from a body bag in the house fire.
