Ooooo, Dee G don't temp me with sources for Guzzi's.  What Mike said about the guys in Austria overthinking things is so true and likely why I will never buy a new BMW.  Probably won't ever buy anything made since 2003 or so either.  But the Guzzi, now there is classic styling with a sense of simplicity and it's even affordable.  More and more I find myself loving my Cali Special Sport.  (sorry Aida, just had to get in one more kudo for the marque)

Fortunately, Seattle is a very long way from Texas so I doubt that I'll load up the old Ford conestoga with trailer and head that way.  But then, a one way ticket is fairly cheap these days.....

Then go talk to the good folks at MPH Cycles.  If I lived in Texas, I'd prolly go here:

I know 'em well.  Bought the Guzzi from Mike as well as both R1100's.  First class quality guy.  That's the first place I'll go when I'm in the market again.
