I rode my CalStone to work yesterday, which was really the first opportunity for me to ride it this season after the long, cold winter. New shocks and steering head bearings have improved the ride and comfort! I love being able to ride to work when I can. So my parking space is next to the parking area for our visitors, and as it happens every time I ride the Guzzi, a half-dozen people saunter over to it through the course of the day to have a look and more often than not, a few pictures. Two people had to find me to talk to me about it. I overheard a fella with a bar and shield plate on the front of his truck ask one of my employees if that was their "little Sporty" over there.
My mentioning all this is a little ridiculous, I know, as we all know our bikes are cool... at least to us as individuals, but I guess I'm just tickled because I'm proud to have rescued this machine and made it my own, while bringing joy (or confusion) to others at the same time. Great way to bring in the riding season!
