don't know much about them other than what my moto buddies tell me…if you're into vintage euro bikes they are just as reliable as a bmw. they've got a pretty cool looking model out now, the v7, it's a pretty sweet looking bike but performance wise pretty weak. if you want modern vintage skip it and get a bonneville or a thruxton.

I'm not really into cars. I like my highlander just fine…drives great, is comfortable enough. hybrid so the mileage is more than enough considering its size.
I like motorcycles though. I've got a 76 bmw now and am looking to get something something else fun this summer. maybe. and when i wind up with some property lookout.
Back when I had 3 motorcycles and was thinking of starting a collection I wanted to pick up a BMW Motorcyle from the 70's. They look pretty cool and last forever. Not crazy about the modern BMW Bikes. But if you are riding some remote part of the world you are bound to see a few.
the boxer engine is pretty much bulletproof. i sure love mine. i kinda hate the brakes though, but putting on a new front for a disc brake just seems so much hassle. my father in law has a modern sport touring bmw. generally modern bmw riders are the biggest nerds on the road. but in general they put on a ton of miles too.
I was thinking the nerd thing when I went to an Open House at Bob's BMW in Maryland. They post a photo of everyone that buys one on their site:

Their touring bikes have a high center of gravity. I don't know if I would like that driving for thousands of miles.
Yeah, it's a minivan, whattyagonnado. Fact is, I can transport 8 people easily, there's a refrigerator in the dashboard, I can listen to music a dozen different ways, the kids get their own 'entertainment system' and I don't have to worry about being unfaithful to my wife because no woman will ever want me when they see 'the Hearse'.
We don't drive very much though because I bike to work and my wife's neighborhood business is run out of our house.

Any opinions on Moto Guzzi?
I have only riden the Griso and it looks cool but it isn't a performance bike. The clutch is kluggy and the bike doesn't handle all that great. Not a sporty ride. But if you want something different.. If you want to test ride one Speeds Cycle in Elkridge MD will let you take one out. The one I rode was a 4 valve version. I expect that the newer 8 valve has more kick to it.
Wait a minute. Your wife ran a business out of your house and still put the kids in daycare? Wow, that's harsh!!! How many days a week, and for how long each day?

honda element, for the win
Not that you're looking for my stamp of approval, but that sounds like a pretty swell setup if they were all home under the same roof.

I am not a paypal pro. How exactly did I make you incur a fee? It was completely unintentional.
