If you're like me, you will always tinker with something, even when the bike has no problems at all.
Nothing so far has really kept me from riding if I want to, but I do need to attend to things on the RE a little more often than I did on some of my more modern bikes. This doesn't make me want another bike, well it does, but in addition to the RE. Maybe an old 70s Honda twin or a 150 scooter. That way I can dig into projects on either one and still have the other one in one piece to ride.
Then again, whenever I have two bikes one just tends to sit. I may get another bike when I add the sidecar to the RE. Or get another bike with a sidecar and keep the RE as it is. I talk a big game for a guy with no money
Oh, and that V7 Classic is a nice bike. It feels a little underpowered for the engine size from what I hear but I think I'd get one. I just like a nice classic, simple bike that isn't a raked out cruiser or a repli-racer. It's a shame there aren't more to choose from.
