I know almost nothing about cycles. What are the qualities of the
Guzzi that make them so highly prized? The touring bikes that I see
around here are mostly of the Honda Gold Wing variety.

Good question, Wayne. I suppose they have more of a 'cult' following than anything. They're simple, almost trouble free. and they wear like iron.

My first Guzzi, the 850T, I called 'Clyde' because it reminded me of a Clydesdale. It
wasn't the fastest bike in the world, but the damn thing just kept on going.
