All-
The fellow I bought my Eldo from used to tell people that it was a 1947
Harley-Davidson sidemount panhead...a limited production, Italian
manufacture bike.
I still laugh when I think about that one!
Cheers
Chris in NC
'74 Eldo

Hearing stories like yours flashes me back to many of my similar encounters with curious admirers. Well...all except the cute girl bits. I guess I need to get a bit of grey before I experience those encounters eh? :-) Even before I had my (Aquila.....yes I have named my girl too :-)) painted to her current beauty I was constantly getting compliments on the bike. My favorite was once, when I was taking a ferry across the river, this guy in a $150,000 Mercedes parks besided me and starts talking to me about the bike. One thing I have always,loved about these machines is that people don't seem to have a problem talking to you...and I love that. If I was on a HD I doubt that he would have started a convo. I ceratinly would not have started a convo with him :-) Lots of other little stories of people waving at me as I ride by etc....When they occur it makes me feel real good inside. The funniest I remember was when I was in Maryland with Dave Otis. At a gas stop Dave (on his red Eldo..Heather), his boy Andrew (on his green Ambo...Olive) and me on my black Ambo were grabbing a quick bite. A little girl ran past us and asked her mother......"Mommy is that a Harley Davidson?". Really made me laugh. Not long after that this "good ol'boy" came up and said...."them is one nice fine set of BMW's ya got yourself there..." Ahhhh life as the owner of a Loopframe. Sometimes I just head into the garage and look at the bikes.....they are beautiful aren't they? Regards.....Ian
