Hayduke, I've had owners of older British iron bikes claim that their bikes are "100% reliable". What they don't mention is the amount of fettling required before and after each ride to ensure that this impressive statistic is maintained.
I was one of them when I used my Commando every year for 2000+ miles in a week in France. Although it never let me down and always made it home, there was a substantial amount of off-season tinkering to keep it like that.

I changed to the Tiger last year and so far have been very happy with it.
