 I'm not a comic book guy, but rally's would be interesting if some of us were like this rider!

Last rally I was at, a few old farts had to remind me about the majority demographic at these Guzzi events and what political party this demographic typically leaned, justifying the congregated political complaining at the dinner table. The more of that you have, the less of her you’ll have, I reckon.

That aside, I always figgered Wolverine an Indian fan.

Naaaa, it's just because we're old pfarts and the millennials aren't interested in squishing bugs telling lies, kickin' tires and sleeping on the ground.  :boozing: We're a dying breed.

Strange.   I’m exactly like the guy leaning against the tree.

Must be a Guzzi ad. The V100 is displayed with "time travel" as the caption.

You guys in the South are all about squishing bugs. We have few insects in Seattle, but when I ride to Arkansas, I am always gobsmacked by the amount of GIANT insects.

Dirk, I do believe you are right on all accounts, Wolverine does seem like an Indian man.. tho he is probably most at home on a snow machine! You hit the nail on the head otherwise as well.

I'm a Gen-Xer and I have noticed much of the same.
