Re: MV Agusta
Yes Paul, 40 years for me too. The power of modern bikes would come as quite a shock I think ! I don't think it would do my back much good these days either.

Re: MV Agusta
A strong and effective and very graphic image, Peter.
Motorcycles were never something I was particularly interesting in. Having all that Mother Nature can subject me too seems fine when sitting in a car, but not when exposed to the elements. Other family members disagree, although as they age, throwing the leg over the top of the bike to mount is seems to become more challenging with every passing year...

Re: MV Agusta
LOL gents. Me too. In the early 90's after a similar length of time, I bought a Yamaha 650 twin. I was soon reminded of "Swing and Sway the Triumph Way" and didn't keep it long, about a year, and sold it before I killed myself (Happy hour plus bike = big risk ...). Originally Posted by pschlute

And bikes of any kind are invisible to Texas drivers "whut the hayul wuz thet ah nearly heeyut?!!"
