While attending a vintage motorcycle rally a few years ago, I was admiring a pristine Norton Commando that was for sale. To my eyes the early 70s model with the black paint and gold lettering was the most handsome British motorcycle ever made.
Sitting around the Commando in the shade of the large trees were a number of vintage bike owners. The owner of the bike suggested I buy the bike. I though a bit, and then replied. "Old motorcycles are like old girl friends. You always wonder why you gave them up, until you meet them again. The you say to yourself, NOW I REMEMBER." Everybody within earshot laughed.
