Rode bikes from 1968 until I "became as one" with the front grille and windshield of a '79 Nova, then finally back on in 2008 at age 52. It's fun to freak out the kids when those little pieces of fairing and glass occassionally poke through the skin, even after 30 years.

In September, I parked by '08 Bonnie in line with all the $15-$30,000 Harleys at the James Dean Festival and then sat a short distance away to observe, as people walked by. Guess which bike got all the attention? It was hilarious! Get a Triumph. I don't regret my choice one bit.
