I sold a Valkyrie Interstate once, a beautiful 2000 blue/silver. It was the right thing to do at the time. But a few years later I simply had to buy another one. This time it's a 1999 green/silver Interstate. And yes, I ended up buying all the same accessories from all the same vendors a second time. Selling that Valkyrie turned out OK in that I replaced it with another one. I haven't replaced the gorgeous British Racing Green Moto Guzzi V10 Centauro I sold to buy that first Interstate though. I sure do miss that Guzzi and may end up with another similar Guzzi to replace it. The Guzzi Griso 8v would do nicely!
All the best to you Don,
Mark

Sent mine off with a new owner after 13 years of service....had a great run but as someone said, time marches on. I don't think she wanted to go though because after the deal was done the new owner went to put the kickstand up and broke off the bar attached to it. It was kind of funny, he was saying over and over how sorry he was and he broke his own bike.  |
