For an old, old bike, that's not that bad. Most people treat their vehicles like absolute siht. That's why your new car goes down in value $5000 when you drive it off the lot. I really like the old 01 that I bought a few months ago. It's in nice shape for a 16 year old bike. But it the PO had only sprayed the whole thing down with WD-40 before he parked it. I sure wish I'd had the sence to buy a gen 5 when they were new.
