    I only have one bike right now, a 1978 Moto Guzzi Le Mans. Arguably evidence of both good taste and insanity. Not sure what the firearms analogue of Moto Guzzi would be. Maybe if there was a perpetually near-bankruptcy Italian company making 1911 clones.

    I love Aprilia motorcycles! I have owned at least 3 Falcos over the years.

    And I am between Guzzis at the moment. I sold a V7 Special a week ago, but it's getting replaced with a Ducati 900 CR. A 78 LeMans would be a keeper for sure - I love that vintage Le mans, I think I owned an 81. I actually got to go to the Guzzi factory as part of a Piaggio incentive trip to Italy. I'm thinking it looks pretty much the same as it did in the 50s. And they just let a bunch of dealers have the run of the place. Not so much at Ducati... We had a (very good) guide the whole time we were there on a different trip.

    ETA: I think I have a problem...

    With four Ducatis and lots of guns and knives I am way behind in the watch category.
    Strangely, I have every watch I've ever owned in a shoebox, somewhere. Sold together they may buy me a milkshake, maybe.
    I do still have the Zorro watch my parents gave me for my 7th birthday. Does that count?
