  1. perfectly describes why I sold the DRZ, even though it was the DR 650 that threw me down, jumped on me, and broke my leg. The one I didn't sell. I'll never learn.
  2. I was getting to know my K1200rs on my first spirited ride with it and fellow vacationers on the beautiful stream-side roads in North Carolina one fall day. Flat, but pretty twisty, 60ish mph +/- and I was at the tail of a 6 rider line. I thought I was doing pretty well keeping up with more seasoned sport riders. I was surprised when out of nowhere I was passed (with extreme prejudice) by 3 loud single cyl motards with riders standing on the pegs as they swept and in and out and passed us all. I recall thinking "I should re-evaluate my priorities maybe"
  3. Pleasant video. I couldn't tell if he is thinking of downsizing from or to the Zed. Or if his concern is physical size or power. Maybe both.? I've been downsizing ever since a gust of wind blew over my precariously parked 600lb K1200RS. The Guzzi is now my only remaining weighty vice. Only 450lb or (much) less weight bikes are my future. The new Triumph Scrambler 400 X has my attention. I like the Enfields. My most insanely fun bike was a DRZ 400SM. I thought it might kill me so I sold it.
  4. Docc, that will carry me through the job I have in my kitchen tomorrow. Here is a short classic Emmylou @ around 30 years old. It's too bad more video/audio from that era didn't have Martin Scorsese recording.
  5. Exact experience for me. My FBF was poorly made as well
  6. this - I started hopping the velvet ropes at the 'herding' lines in my early 20's

  9. best of the bunch. heck of a deal
  10. Whereabouts in Fl are you? Keep the powder dry.
  11. SNL used to do a continuing skit where a fake Buckingham was always a guest on the skit's 'show' but they always ran out of time before he could talk. This time the real LB showed up, Watch Paul Simon. He knows.
  12. looks similar to this one. They have others as well https://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42&products_id=1791
  13. One of the most unique and recognizable voices in honest country music. One of my favorite albums.
  14. XX plans were scrubbed due to my good friend and riding brother having lost a gallant battle with lymphoma just a few weeks out from the weekend. He loved the time we spent at the spine raids, and thoroughly enjoyed the bourbon and chatter at the evening doings. He was looking forward to bringing his new bike, a KTM 790 Duke. Some of you will know him as the not-a-guzzi-yet guy that brought a different bike every time. Bill Warrick, on the left
  15. I figured you were with McGregor and Boorman taking the long way home. Brilliant travelogue as usual Bill.
  16. I'm thinking there was a direct correlation between advert sexual innuendo and how slow/fast a product was selling. but...
  17. yeah it's steel
  18. I have one loose. 21.98mm width (Your photo). 14mm height. 20.50 length or depth. hole is the same all the way thru at 9.95mm
  19. never heard of them. but reminiscent of a similar group of the same era/genre that was a favorite of mine. still.
  20. Revisiting Puccini, and Luciano's enormous tenor. Miss him.
