fueled again

Greetings. Problems with fuel delivery on my Moto Guzzi V65 have finally been solved. Once again it is reliable. Since I was not able to find a side cover I used pieces of other side covers from Yamahas and fiberglass to make one.
I have been thinking about the quality of motorcycles. When asked what people like about motor cycles many people say they like the freedom. I think a more appropriate term would be that I like the oneness. Being on a cycle puts me more at one with my surroundings. This was brought home today when I left home in sunshine and was in rain within four miles. I wanted to put gas in the V65 and drive it far enough to be certain it would not cause further problems. The long way home from the station was about 7 miles of driving rain but the Guzzi ran without flaw. The hard bags are not huge but very well designed.
Quality applies to both the ride experience and the motorcycle. I will write my thoughts of the experience soon. LN
