While being driven to work this morning (broken ankle--no riding for me) I spotted a beautiful red 1981 XV920 being ridden in the opposite direction.  This is a big deal!  These machines were never popular in the U.S. and there aren't many clean examples left.  I've found more 920s (not many at that) in junkyards than I've ever seen on the road. My driver, a co-worker, did not realize the significance of this event and could not be persuaded to turn around and give chase.
