At this point in my life, I have been riding for almost 60 years. I've lost track of how many bikes I have owned, but at least 50 or more. But in all that time, i have never bought a new bike. I came close a coulpe years ago when I bought my Tenere. I set out to buy a new one, but then found one with only 832 miles on it at a great price.

Last year, I decided I need another Italian mistress, it had been a while since I'd had one and I needed some color in my life. A friend let me take his Moto Guzzi V85TT for a spin, and I couldn't resist any longer. Cadre Cycles in Cincinatti OH had a couple '23 models in stock at a screaming price, and it just so happened we were going to Athens OH a couple weeks later to meet some friends for a week of riding in Ohio. Made the deal over the phone, threw Lynn's FZ-07 on the trailer, and away we went.
