hi G9, without of valve adjustment I don't think it's going to go much longer. It's getting slower by the day. Lol.

He's been getting his air filters from Home Depot a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower has the same air filter he tells me.

over the years I've witnessed the miles pile on, and you just don't get that wear and tear overnight.

one of the local Honda dealers wanted to put it on display. but because there's no documentation on oil changes they decided to pass. He did his own oil changes.
this metro needs to be in a magazine. not because of the miles but because no valve adjustment has been done. :lol:

when I change out the brakes I will post more photos :shock:

the old fart doesn't want to spend a dime on it. and wants to get a ruckus.

I just had to add a photo for G9 to see. :smile:

Greetings:

Not much longer? Pshaw! It's a Honda!! Adjust those valves and it's good for another 100K. (I'd like to see some Cheap-* clone knock-off from Certain Countries that don't mind stealing good ideas without paying for themmatched up with Honda quality...)
