Bud,
That's a good line. I am no mechanic but I feel the Guzzi flywheel was
heavy on purpose. The purpose being, as you intimated, to make the bike go
a long ways. Bob

His writings are observations or opinions brought out to start a dialog or discussion among the readers (which has been accomplished). Some will hold water, some won't. It reminded me of some of the high school English papers I had to write, defining concepts such as "Quality" or "Love". These are concepts we understand, but find difficult to create a concrete definition for without vague terms of feelings or perceptions creeping in They mean something different to each of us. The brands of bikes are interchangeble because the story is about the people, their attitudes, expectations, and PERCEPTIONS. Perceptions are an individuals opinions based on what may or may not be fact or actual experience. His bike could have been a beemer, Honda, Ducati, HD or even |

In reality, the bikes may be unreliable and there are enough out there to support a mechanic every few miles. The truth lies somwhere in the middle and can be found in personal experience. Perhaps success with a machine lies with the adage to not buy any product made on Monday morning or on Friday afternoon. Like any book, it has highs and lows. My OPINION is that all things considered, it was worth the read as many parts pointed out personality traits I have seen in myself and others. Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to go on-line and order my tickets for opening day of "The Fellowship of the Ring."
