I am 65 and have had my license to ride on the street for 49 years and rode the fields for a few years before that. Many broken bones and road rash but they are all memories that I have grown to cherish.

I have been fortunate in life, it has been well rounded. I remember the day in my mid twenties that my ex told me it was time for me to move on and I left Arizona with everything that I owned in the world on a 1976 Harley. I made my way towards Ohio because I knew someone that owned a spot there and would have a place to park and hopefully enough work to get enough money to start over. It was the worst time in my life but it worked out. I was down to just enough money for gas to get me to where I needed to go. I stopped on a country road and walked through a few trees and the sweet corn was just getting ripe and I picked an ear and ate it raw. When I exited back to the road I was met by the farmer who asked me what I was doing. After hearing the truth he took me to his shop as a place to stay and fed me. He put me to work fixing and readying equipment. We still keep in contact to this day.

I went on down the road and met my wife that I have been married to for 30 years and we have a nice home, I am now retired after 23 years with the same company and I have a number of motorcycles. including the 76 Harley that I made my way into life on. I still club race, have done 8 sanctioned races so far this year. The secret is as we get older and slower so do the bikes I race.

Motorcycling has been my life and will continue to be until I can no longer breathe life into my body.

I personally think they should build the Moto Guzzi V 100 Arizona Stone!    :wink:

Arizona Stona sounds like a Frank Zappa song.   :boozing:

Something about the name "California" denotes beautiful, warm, sunny, weather,and a feeling of  all around pleasantness. I am not sure what they wanted to convey with the name "Nevada".... a "high roller" maybe? 
Possibly if they want to convey a tough, in your face" street- wise" image, they will debut the Moto Guzzi V 100 New Jersey ?  :cool:

I had a reusable oiled air filter on a BMW years ago.  No performance enhancement but did save money over the long haul.

I've seen this a few times, mostly it was the worn/rusty ignition switch that didn't release so kept the solenoid engaged. But I could see a faulty solenoid or even sticky goop on the starter gear shaft causing the gear not to retract while under load.

 As much as I love my Norge it has continued to disappoint with how the dash is nearly unusable EVEN if I can barely remember how to user the menu in the daylight it is so light to be unreadable and yes I have the lighting turned up as much as possible.
