Very, very nice. It's great to see a well kept, well ridden, unmolested example of a vintage Sportster. Not many left these days. Here's mine, coincidentally, filmed almost as long ago. Somewhere near Seattle on a beautiful fall day: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2GKrbydoLq7fpc.html

Something like that but it takes longer to do a mile than a km. Had the top end off a while back to fix up valve cover oil leaks, bore and rings good.

They are incredibly reliable if done correctly, they were designed and built for a purpose one of which is reliability. Bear in mind that they are no speed machine and get a bit cranky if you push them too hard, good for 50-55mph all day, every day.
