Well put. In my experience there's nothing "common" about sense these days. Everybody has their own concept of sense that has veered well past the general notion as we older folk have come to understand. This is why we like these old rides. They are a reminder of the common sense that was once prevalent when the regular Joe knew how to do things on their own or at least give it a good try knowing that persistence and patience will always win.


I'm with you. I couldn't imagine owning a modern bike. I wouldn't know how to ride one. To me everything these days are clinical people movers. What we ride are machines with soul, attitudes, particularities, temperaments, kind of like their owners. Together we work.
