Tom.. thanks for a GREAT post. Not history, or technical data or opinion, just relating the sheer joy of taking a classic machine out on the road for the first time and falling in love with her. That's gotta be at the heart of everyone here on the CR List.

I feel the same way about my Peugeot PX-10e and my Raleigh Competition GS, they are like bulls out of the chute. Like they are relieved to be back in action and raced hard and often.
