  1. I wouldnt buy one but a good friend of mine has one, I went and picked up with him when he bought it..it does look very well made, He is a big guy .6'4" 250 so the bike suits him..He is a doctor and does medical student lectures all over Northern California in a 200 mile radius and rides the MGX-21 to most of them...kind of perfect bike for that kind of thing really. Allows him to get some riding in a busy schedule and still, not arrive feeling and looking like he just came off the track.

    Custom seats

    Most of the motorcops are all taught to ride in the upright style , you dont see them in full gear on a dressed out bike dragging a knee..but they go like hell when they want to, and in my experiance they are VERY good riders..hard to keep up with in heavy traffic and I wish you luck if your on a bike and you try to get away from them in any situation that requires maneuvering. Two of the fastest and smoothest riders I have known in my years riding, rode in the upright style..in the mountains ,its very easy to get sucked in by them if you are following them in an area they know and you don't..when following them they look like they are just having a nice ride..until you realize your doing over a hundred coming into some difficult sweepers keeping up with them and they havnt touched the brakes or changed position in their seat at all .
  3. Very good example of Boz's sublime voice and style.
  4. MY WIFE AND I WERE AT THIS CONCERT A SEVERAL YEARS AGO..FRONT ROW CENTER..GREAT PERFORMANCE BY BOZ, DREW ZINN ON LEAD GUITAR...( BOZ WAS MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IN SAN FRANCISCO IN THE Early 70'S) (interesting story, when Boz was recording in 1969 he had finished the Album and the producer said they needed one more. to fill it up., Duane Allman happened to stop by the studio that day and Boz asked him if he wanted to sit in ) Boz said here was a song he had heard Elvin Bishop do a couple times back in San Francisco clubs called , "Loan me a Dime" and would Duane like to try it with him "they cut it in one take..jamming. The rest is history.
  5. Please turn in your keys my friend...
  6. I remember going to see Iggy Pop at the Berkeley community theater in the 70's, David Bowie was on Keyboard then, I didn't know who Pop was, I think he was opening for Montrose..a band I liked at the time and was there to see... I was blown away by Pops energy and creativity... I agree on Miles Davis
  7. I used to go see these guys alot around L.A. in 1980 when they released this song..they were a very popular the early new wave days..great bar band
  8. Cant get out of the Heart Groove....especially when they are playing my Favorite bands music..:-)
  9. Lot of riders in that group..... Hope you had a great time Bill!
  10. Always amused when people go to all the tourist spots in the EU and are dismayed because its crowded and expensive..like coming to the US and going tho Disneyland, The Grand Canyon, New York City, Nashville, San Francisco, Orlando, etc. etc and expecting reasonable prices and relaxation....I spent almost month in Italy/Switzerland/ Austria in July /August, Riding the Guzzi over 3000 km in the Dolomites / Passo dello Stelvio/Timmelsjoch ..etc,etc with a friend born and raised in Rome..We purposely rode Stelvio early AM on weekdays and spent every afternoon and evening in smaller towns and villages.....The whole trip was very relaxing and enjoyable, I went a couple years ago too, and I will go again next Summer...very nice. I asked a few people from the areas we were in about those tourist backlash articles, they all just chuckled and said they hadn't heard about it.
  11. MI is gone..I think most people probably go to Optimum Performance....Aprilia/Piaggio
  12. I have read so many different accounts of Stevie Nicks and her relationships Stevie Nicks and Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks Joe Walsh, Stevie Nicks and Don Henley....Stevie Nicks and Jimmy Lovine.... they always seem to end up the same in HER recounts..she was the star and she left them....makes me want to go....hmmmmmmm. The music business is not the best place for relationships but I guess with her does make for some good song writing material.
  13. Lindsey Buckingham is a highly under rated Artist...Although Billboard does rate him as one of the TOP 100 guitarists of all time...He is self taught..does not read music..but that finger Picking...OH MAN. He wrote this song and was pissed off when singing it to her live for the first time on stage here..right after she had walked out on him..She only got the job with Fleetwood Mac because Mick wanted him for a guitar player and he insisted they hire her too or he wouldnt accept the role..she was his longtime girlfriend at the time...no good deed ever goes unpunished. ha ha
  14. IMHO...#1 Get some good tires #2 Learn how to do docc's complete "Decent tune up" ( do the whole thing carefully..its not hard if you get a few simple tools) and you will really love your bike. All the rest you can do as you go and learn about it.
