None of which compares with my Moto Guzzi - 63,407 miles and hasn't been
in a shop for at least the
past 22 years.

Not knocking a Guzzi ... many people like them and they have a cult
following. Mrs.E's uncle has an old Harley Road King that has well
over 300,000 miles on it. He rebuilt the engine once during it's life.



I drove a FIAT for a day once, sometime in the 1970s. A nice-looking 124
roadster. Crapped out on me twice the same day for different reasons.
Not as bad as an MGA I owned. It caught fire one stormy night on the way
back from Ft. Leonard Wood to Kansas City. I took off the plate and
hitchhiked back home. MGA is probably a planter by the side of the road.
