42 -Very blessed in life: 2 motorcycles and a wonderful boyfriend who owns
2 bikes as well.

I've been riding since 18 - learn on a 1953 BMW/3 in Holland. Lived in
Europe for a couple of years and saw my first Guzzi. Spent 5 years looking
for one. First bike a 1978 DT 175 , then 1976 KZ650, 1984 KZ750.
Presently own 1972 Eldoraro and 1998 Tiger. Wanted to buy a Centauro, but
we can't bring them into Canada yet.

I like trying other bikes, but my Eldorado is special ! I am not
technically savvy , but have learnt a lot through the list and the great
friends I have. I mostly just like to ride - nice long trips, back roads
with great scenery and twistys. Could not ride for 2 years - grew old and
sad - then I got my Eldorado working again (thanks to the help and
encouragement from Ian) and took off for a 2 week road trip - came back
and friends said they had not seen me so happy in years! Staying young and
happy for me is riding my bikes - hope to take the motorcycle racing course
at Shannonville next summer - sort of a dream to race bikes, ultimate would
be the Paris-Dakar.

Cheers,

Elisabeth

Seeing as we are discussing how we came into Guzzi, just thought we
might see what the general Loopers age is on this list. I'm 31.
