I own a Guzzi, I'm fairly sure that yours IS better than mine...or at least yours did come with grease in it.

Let's start a new thing: "Mine is worse than yours".  :grin:

All of my bikes are... ahem... "weathered" and old, so not as nice as all of the shiny and/or newer stuff I see on here. But, that's the way I like them and I wouldn't have it any other way.

 Have you ever seen pictures of my Jackal ? :laugh:

When a civilised culture/society/nation-state inevitably becomes less civilised, one symptom of that decline is a descent into tribalism.  An us-&-them dichotomy variously manifest on local, regional, intra- and international levels.  Decadence is the root cause, as well as the noun form of decay.

Further decline results in barbarism, civil war and the rise of and takeover by rival/superior/more ruthless cultures/civilisations.  It's been a recurrent & omnipresent central theme of history since the origin of organised civilisations in the fertile crescent some 12,000+ years ago.

True, though. Just the same, mine's better.  :grin: I couldn't have had a better vehicle for this morning's putt around back roads that I'd never been on than the "almost new" G5.

Lol, this thread just reminded me of that  commercial back in the 70’s about dog food. It went something like this.

“ My dogs bigger than your dog, my dogs bigger than yours
   My dogs bigger cause he gets Kennel Ration, my dogs bigger than yours
   But my dog......
   My dogs faster than your dog etc
Then about two courses later at the end of the add the other of the two little boys doing the commercial says
  “ but my dog gets Kennel Ration too”

Funny how these threads brings back memory’s aint it :)

I was at the store one day in my Dakota and parked next to a jacked up Ford with a sticker reading, "real trucks dont have spark plugs".
The owner comes out and says to me,"cute little truck" to which I replied,"I bet all the Pete drives say that to you. Besides real trucks have 18 wheels".
He quietly turned and loaded his groceries.

Ha! That story reminded me of this:
