Who would have known that leaving my truck for 10 days without any use of any kind would almost make me late for work. I went out today and pressed down on the accelerator and it didn't rev down. I ended up having to take the bike to work. Several shots of penetrating fluid cleaned things up after work. The damn truck is about as reliable now as my bike was when I got it. I guess that's what I get for only putting 7 miles on it per day. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

I personally have a lot of GM vehicles and they have been very reliable for me. My ranger has also been very reliable, if a bit slow and thirsty. 1980 CX500C 1974 TS125 (Sold)    Report

I'm sure a lot of vehicles would have experienced what mine did after leaving it sit so long in a rainy hot month. Plus I really put nearly zero miles on it so there isn't much to kick off the grime or at least move it around. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier.
