Wow, small world. Cool story dude! Give her some time to get acquainted, maybe it's all in your head coming from the bigger bikes...

*That* feeling will come back to you. I'll often ride my RC51 around for a wk or two, then go back to my F4. That "strange" feeling is there for a day or so b/f that normal feeling comes back. ;-)

About 6 months ago, I saw the bike I bought new in 94 up for sale again. Looked good and was reasonable, and although I wanted it really badly, I remembered why I sold it, and I much prefer what I bought instead. Not your situation, but I sure do remember that feeling of potential reacquaintance.

I did call up the seller, and he told a story about it's history, that wasn't quite on the mark, and was kind of funny, given what I knew.

Ok, we are talking apples and oranges here (it was an old Magna muscle cruiser) but I got rid of it because it was too LIGHT. So I bought something that weighed about 300 more pounds and was slower. Funny how priorities change.

My old 81 Guzzi Monza is sitting in a friends garage, unregistered & unridden & unloved.
Sold it to him maybe 10 years ago (geez make the 15 years) & he is always trying to sell back to me. She is still in pretty good condition, although the seat is starting to show signs of age & is splitting (no big deal). She looks a little weird compared to to-days modern bikes, but get her into the E's & with the sound of the Conti exhausts reverberating off the sandstone, it's heaven on a stick. I'm always tempted to buy her back, but there is no room for her & I'm already in a long term relationship
