Ordered Carb Gaskets

I paid Mother Honda $140 for four sets of carb gaskets and o-rings. The dealer said I should have them by Yuesday next.

Riding the Wing in the meantime.

Had a grey-haired gent stop me in the parking lot. He had just dismounted from his ancient Wing, and sauntered over to me, about to mount up on mine.

"Nice bike," he said.

"Thanks, you too."

"What year?" he asked.

"82"

"Mine too", he said.

Pause.

"Looks like yours has been well cared for" he said.

"Pretty much," I said. "I bought it last June. The previous owner had had it restored after sitting for a number of years..."

"Oh," he said.

"These things'll run forever," I said.

"Yep" he said.
