After much waffling, dallying and general indecision, I'm trading my lovely V7 Cafe Classic for a rowdy Black Devil Griso. Still not sure I'm doing the right thing, but sometimes the heart overrules the head.

That means all the farkles I've collected for the V7 are for sale in the classifieds. Mistral mufflers and crossover, dual seat and passenger pegs, flyscreen, M-G tank bag and Tourmaster saddlebags. Not in the ad but also available are an O2 optimizer and starter bypass from MPH.

I'll miss my small block, but I'm betting the big 'un will be a new thrill.

He wont !

It's easy for you to say, you have a small block AND a big block. There's only room in my garage and my wallet for one bike. And I love my little Giallo Goose. I feel like a traitor and can barely stand to look when I pass her in the garage these days.

Picking a new Italian mistress from between Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida, both in their prime, would not be any more difficult than trading in my Cafe for a Griso.

But the die is cast, and the Black Devil has stolen my affections. Let the honeymoon begin!

Tough choices all indeed -- we should ask these two:

ah, no use; we know what they'd say:

Thanks for the giggles, guys.

Now if somebody would just hit the classified section and buy those shiny new Mistrals from me I could afford to treat Gina L. to a candlelight dinner and wine ...
 
You will love the Griso! Congrats.
Good luck selling the farkles from the V7.
