“Rolling onto the lot once again I smiled and shook my head when spotting the V1000 rotting in its usual spot. But this time, as I was mentally adding the dollars needed to restore this brand new Moto Guzzi, Ed appeared.

I nearly turned around -twice- after riding off and to this day I’m still trying to figure out why I didn’t. Making a new plan, I traded the BMW, sold a clapped out El Camino SS, then hot-footed it back to Motorcycle City with cash in pocket to pick up the V1000. Too late, for this time the building was empty, save for the realtor signs” (“Old Dreams” Moto Guzzi V1000 G5 – WoodburyMedia)
