The plastics on my bike are dirty as hell. But everything else is Maintained. And yeah Trip I lubed my chain Once all of last year...But my Front sprocket cover def didnt have rocks falling out of it.

My chain has some rust "Spots" but overall it's still in good shape. I'll most likely replace it the end of this year

Fred comes up to LI from time to time, either him or his wife has family up here, and they stopped by the house on one of their trips home.

All in all I'm happy with it. And will probably stick with it for the life of the bike.
Let us know how it works with more miles on it. Took a couple hundred for me to actually notice the difference on the Buell.

To be fair, I don't think they were rocks. I think it was pieces of sprocket.
