I went to the new Ace True Value. Guy Says can I help. Said I need motorcycle parts, glad you opened the new store. He started Name dropping. Same old people I know. Then he throws out a name and details I never heard. A neighbor. I find his address and go knock on the door. As soon as I said motorcycles he grabbed his coat and took me on a tour. 54 motorcycles in great shape.
I waited and admired his collection and workshop to drop the Moto Guzzi adventures I have experienced. His eye lit up and He said He always wanted to invest in a Guzzi, but never did.
Back story, I lost two of my best friends in 2 years. I whined to my Wife I need a new motorcycle friend.
The wife laughed at me. Then said she admires my passion.
