??? old phart displays accurate learning capabilities more like it!

And WOW! Old phart has now been blown away. Its just the love of all things mechanical. Its a worm that doesn't stop turning, we all have it or why else would we be here? Generally you will find that there are way more gearheads in the motorcycle world than the average car person. Get to the board level and its the drawing of commonality that makes us hunt out others of the particular ilk. And all forms of mechanical representation should be welcomed, whether Brat, rat, concours and every other class or category in between- its just variations of the love of machinery.Last edited by Guest; 12-15-2012, 01:58 PM.Comment

Whoa - an '81 X'er - still got it? I had a Candy Glory Red '79 and loved it. I knew all its shortcomings and such, but at redline that howl ran goosebumps down your spine. But she never had that brute torque a GS makes. Sort of like a 911 versus a hemi'cuda. Both go, but from different points of the spectrum.Comment

I was hoping to replace my '79, but the prices that they're going for is a tad steep. However, with what I got into the E, I could have gotten at least one.
But no regrets. I'm looking forward to the E and hope it works as good as I remember them.Comment
