Runs just fine gets 45mpg and runs with Indiana highway traffic just fine.

Oh yeah, first road bike ever. Dad started me off on a 50cc honda dirt bike when I was 4 and kept growing, to 80, 100 etc. maxed out at a XR200R when I was 16 and been riding that since 2001 but never got into road bikes and saw this girl on craigslist and finally decided to jump on the road bike bandwagon.

She has still even got a 1976 Department of Defense Registration sticker on the left front fork. It's about 3/4 of the way on there.
