I regularly read questions posted on this forum and wonder to myself "where did the manual to this bike go?" I keep manuals on almost everything I own. I still have the manual to my 1963 DeWalt radial arm saw. And whenever I sell an item, I always try to give the new buyer the manual with it. Am I alone here??
I understand that if you buy a 1982 bike, the manual may have been misplaced or lost along the way. But when I see someone with a 2006 bike ask what the torque specs on the head bolts are, I am astonished they don't have the owners manual.
I guess if some kid owned the bike previously, he tossed it or used it to roll a joint, but I've got to think some of these bikes were sold by somewhat responsible adults. Oh well, guess it gives Clymers a market to sell to.
