Greg...I think the term you speak of is "alliteration".

Thus, if you ride a Savage for more than 2 hours , your butt goes to hell in a handbasket ???

THAT'S IT...I knew that I learned that even though I failed the class. (Maybe I should retake the final)

So, then the logical conclusion is that the Savage seat IS a handbasket.

What basket? Thought we're talking about life-expectancy of a Savage. My 2 cents; As long as you replace the parts that brake or are about to brake, FOREVER!

Vtail, refer to the 3rd post here.
And finally, Max, to answer your question myself................... um, yeah, what they said.

Where are we going? And why are we in this handbasket?

most older bikes i have found have had about 15000 miles on them non running. most of these bikes had simple fix carb problems. its not rare to find a good cheap bike needing simple repairs because the previous owner tried to do it themselves and messed it up or decided that it wasn't worth fixing. properly maintained any bike should last at least as long as a car.

My 2000 Savage has 22087 on it still runs great. No major problems just tires and brakes. As for the seat being a basket....a basket would be more comfy!!!

I bought my 93 3 years ago with 32K Km. Drove it for 12K, makes 44K
Last year I fitted and engine with 13K in this frame.
So now I have and engine with 17K and a frame with 48K. Go, figure!
As said before : use and maintain the bike properly and it will last at least a lifetime.
