Still have a bike you bought new 30 + years ago?

It may have been asked in one form or another, but I am curious how many C & V members have held onto a bike purchased new. A lot can happen over 30 years and there are a number of times I came close to selling mine. For me it has been 33 years this Summer. I hardly ride it anymore but there are so many memories and miles - and it was my first high end road bike - I doubt I could sell it. Picture is from late Fall 1978 three months after buying it. The Czechoslovakian bike shop owner obviously was partial to his country of origin as it had Barum tubular tires mounted on Favorit rims, the hubs where Campagnolo.
