Reading posts regarding the pro,s and cons of this bike vs that bike etc I have come to wonder how many riders own and ride bikes that mean more to them than the sum of it's parts.
When I look at my bike it is the memory of thousands of kilometers that I have experienced -  hot-cold-dry-wet-hard and easy and stunningly beautifull rides -some with friends and many on
my own that makes me realise that a machine can become a trusted friend. I am fortunate to be able to afford any of the new models available but find it incredibly hard to justify the purchase
of a new bike when the one I have has served me so well.
So I will ride and keep my bike untill either of us can ride no more and the memories will never fade.
