If I go outside the BMW marquee, it will be a Moto Guzzi!  I rode a California EV 1100 not too long ago, and loved it!  Reminded me somewhat of a Beemer, with its V twin engine mounted horizontally like BMW's.  I'm interested in riding the Breva 750, too.  I sat on one at a dealer in Asheville, and loved the ergos and the overall fit and finish!  And Moto Guzzi has a heritage that goes back even longer than BMW's, second only to H-D.  There's just something about the Italian "style" that intrigues me! ;)

I tried to edit my earlier post, but couldn't see a button for it.





hmm, pleasure or pain?  Yes.  There were a couple of times over the weekend that if somebody had offered my 10 grand for my Bonneville I would have taken it.  But after today, it's again not for sale.  Yum.

Not that's weird:  for THIS post I have the modify or delete buttons, but for my post on page one I only have the quote buttons.  Oh well, I guess I build up my karma faster this way.

Looks like PURE PLEASURE to me, Ed!  Sell that old junker.  Get this insurance hog!

BTW, I looked at your post on page 1, and I saw the modify and delete buttons.  Look again, maybe it only needed a refresh.

What, you mean you think the insurance would be higher?   :-?

Nope, I still just see the "quote" button on page one, tho even from this different computer I see all 3 buttons for the post with the picture of Eve's apple above.  

You're a moderator, you probably see all 3 buttons on everybody's posts.   :D

The system default is to not allow a "user" edit to a message after it has "aged" for a day.  That would be why older posts might not show a modify button.  I guess it makes sense (if you think on it) since an edit in your old post, being a week old, would likely be ignored/overlooked...

Definitely overlooked, at least by anyone that had followed the thread from the beginning.

That was a thought I, too, had last night, but failed to voice...

Man that's a good looking bike, Ed.
