Guess that's why my '77 850 T3 has 112,000 miles on it so far.
Some bikes just feel right.

 We don't always need  the latest and greatest techno-whiz bang 2 wheel upgrade to enjoy the essential goodness of why we ride.  It is comforting to know that we can work on our 2wheel dream catcher when needed. I get it.  I think most Guzzi-ista's and many HD owners do.

That is some fine writing.
First you look where it should be, then you look where it might be, then you look where it won't be, then you look where it mustn't be.  And when you find it you discover "that's where it should have been."
