I guess the only good side of this is that once the bike finally falls into
the hands of an owner he/she will have to take it to a dealer to have it
worked on. The new bikes aren't like the Loops for maintenance and repair.
Hang in there Mark...keep working on those Loops and expect the day when MG
will finally close its doors. I'm still not sure if that day will mean
Guzzis will become more valuable or not. Considering that most people that I
meet when I am on my Loop haven't heard of MG anyways I suppose it doesn't
really matter
