    Why MV doesn’t make an honest to goodness retro style machine is beyond me. I’m not suggesting a graphics package but rather a bike that pays tribute to their past glory days. Make it somewhat affordable and go head to head with Triumph, Ducati, BMW etc…

    Woody, does EB owe you $$ ? You sure seem to have an axe to grind.

    2Nowater☺No, he doesn’t owe me a dime. Whether I have an ax to grind or simply disagree strongly with what I think of as misplaced idolatry is subjective, I suppose.
