Go ahead and blame that dumb SOB. I do it all the time.

Heh heh... one of the adages I drilled into my two young sons while working on our cars together was always "however you are going to do that, be nice to the next guy - I bet you know him".
So, yeah - I was that "next guy" on my old Sporty too many times. I finally learned to be nice to myself, about the second or third lap around that thing.

Second, @Higgins, my local shop took a 79 Sportster on trade for a new Guzzi. They were having a blast on this thing today. One of the owners was seriously thinking of keeping it. Made a really lovely sound.

So, a good, running example then, I assume. Very cool. Fun old bikes, and a '79 has many worthwhile improvements over my '76. Might be worth looking into, just for something a little different.
