Hey All,

OK...too cold to ride here in North GA...so I decided to spend a little
time
reflecting on my passion...Loops. I was wondering if some of you would
like
to offer a short anecdote as to how and when you became aware of Loops
and
your first aquisition.

Mine's a fairly new story, but started in 1971. A little bike shop in
the basement of a grocery store in Madison Heights, Virginia opened up
about then, selling Norton and Moto Guzzi. I buzzed in on my little
200cc Yamaha twin one day, and the owner offered me a demo ride on a new
black Guzzi. I was highly impressed, never forgot it.

Couple months ago I expressed an interest to the list in a
loopframe....Greg Field pointed me to a good one on eBay, did the deal,
got it here, now fiddling with it to eliminate the
hasn't-been-ridden-in-a-while gremlins, hoping to become an
enthusiast.....Maybe some day I'll have some 150,000 miles tales to
tell.
