I doubt you would find an EV owner willing to trade :-)) !!
I'll keep my old '72 LAPD ,to remind me just how nice the new bikes
really are . After restoring 30 plus old buzzards and riding many
thousands of miles on them over the last 35 years I guess the "charm" of
an old bike carries a lot less weight than the practicality and superb
performance of the newer machines. Don't really care to grab at
attention with a rare "classic" so much as enjoy a fine running good
handling mount and enjoying the people and places while going about. The
new bikes still have the same qualities that have drawn me to MG in the
first place. They are solid ,reliable mounts with a very flexible
locomotive strong powerplant .

BTW , the loops came with "plastic' turn signals too. I replaced them
with metal lights, guess the Cal III and EV could get the same .
