Thanks, I've been having a blast with it.

Quite a bit, although it attracts a lot of attention by itself. Lots of gas station stops where people couldn't believe I was towing with it, and even less when they found out it was a stock 250.

This one only has around 23k miles since it was rebuilt in the early 90's. It uses next to no oil and has zero blowby, the valve cover is rusting around the oil filler/breather cap hole

It keeps trucking right along, for the most part... had some issues with the ignition system lately but that's ironed out now.
