While riding one of these '70's bikes can be exhilarating and visceral, one quickly comes to realize that time has marched on. In retrospect, they're nice to look at and fun to ride, but they're not what we've come to expect and now take for granted.
That said, I have five bikes in the garage. On any given weekend, one could argue that four of them are garage queens, because I've not yet found a way to ride more than one at a time!
I feel myself hereby confirmed: one man - one butt - one motorcycle.
However, I like to look at beautiful bikes from earlier times, too. But that's enough, don't have to own (and maintain) 'em.
