I would put that differently:

We love these bikes for what they are, despite that which they aren't.

This.

Colt rode the Mighty Scura to the Indiana Guzzi lunch last week. The old girl was making her "sounds" warming up as he was putting on his gear. I had to walk over and tell him that she was a BMF. He just smiled and said, "I *like* it." (shrug)

The red pill/blue pill is from the 1999 movie The Matrix . A "must see" movie.  I hope you can watch this on a large screen / HDTV. You will never be the same .

Being a new V11 owner, I've only been here a short time. I admit this site has a certain atmosphere, of which I'm comfortable. As for knowledge and resources, it's immeasurable. Thank you to all who participate. Thank you @Admin Jaap

Are there many of us left active (or semi-active ) on the forum that met you during that cross-country trip?  

AFAIK @Mike Stewart and you are the only ones still active here. On the trip my ex-GF and I met Dave Gross and Gooddog in Seattle and on our last night in the USA we've met Don ???, Mike, Carl Allison and you of course.

And recall that this was at least the second iteration of the forum.  As I recall in the very early days you changed software and we made some effort to copy over some of those early posts.  ...ages ago 

Completely forgot about that! The first forum ran on text-based open source software. Not very stable, but in a short time there was so much information gathered, that the migration to the software platform we still use was quite a bit of work. I do remember you being rather involved in that.
