    Ciao from the UK

    Welcome, Jay. You have a nice stable and your youth is refreshing to read about on a Guzzi website. That said, I will now ask admin to ban you on account of your age. :giggle: Seriously, while I applaud your preference for "messing with my 2 Guzzis than drinking and partying," as a...

    CA EV1100 Tours to Sturgis, Claw, Back and Tail of the Dragon

    Good morning from my temp stay in Wendell, N.C., where I am being trained by the dog I am supposed to be watching. :giggle: And, apologies for my delayed response to yours, tho the foregoing explains why! Orlean is, as you know, some of the most beautiful dirt in the Old Dominion. Looks...

    How important was "made in Italy" to you?

    I am wary of disagreeing with Scott -- at least on any subject involving automotive or culinary subjects, and the list is likely longer, too ;) -- but we had a 2020 Honda Fit that was made in Mexico. That car was flawless in fit, finish, and all mechanical aspects during the three-plus years...

    CA EV1100 Tours to Sturgis, Claw, Back and Tail of the Dragon

    Impressive trailer and travels ... and pickup. :clap: Where are you in the Old Dominion? Bill Cross Junction (at the top of Virginia)

    Just went through all the pix. Lovely places. Thanks. Bill

    Two-Member GuzziTech Rally

    Good morning. I had warned @1Danedaddy (Larry) in a PM that I would be violating his airspace on my ride from our home at the top of Virginia to Wendell (vic. Raleigh), North Carolina. I launched in cold and windy weather, but had a fine c.180-mile ride down to Burkeville. Larry met me...

    Hello From Edmonton, AB

    Welcome, @BlackOps. Color me confused, however, about your location. Maybe your screen name -- BlackOps -- explains the disinformation and covert nature of you location being in British Columbia, yet, simultaneously, in Alberta? [I refer to the "real" special operations world, not the...

    Greetings from Rome!

    Grand, Scott; simply grand.! Pictures worth the pixels! :clap: Even more attractive, appetizing, and indubitably delicious fare than Daviess County mutton and cheese curds in the Driftless. That's high praise from this Swabian peasant. :giggle: Your proposed postcard ... “Send Dogs and...

    From Saudi Arabia with love

    Welcome. Curious what your Harley and Beemer buddies think of your C14. That said, it would seem from that last photo that yours has a local fraternal, albeit not identical, twin. :) Bill

    What year v85tt should I look for?

    Good morning, @prairie dog. I am -- regrettably, but predictably -- of little help with respect to any substantive issues involving the engine. I also do not know what year the V85 range went to tubeless tires/wheels. [Edited to thank @GerryAZ for saying 2021!] Yet that is THE dealbreaker...

    Acceptance Advice

    As @Mountain_Goose notes, the root cause of most moto-luggage unintended “dismounts” is, sigh, “operator error.” I have been that operator. Twice. :cry: Never happened on the Norge, which actually had a recall for top cases going AWOL. Ah, but the V7 III and its C-Bow panniers. They...

    Moto Migliori - And so it begins…

    Wow! Wonderfully impressive. The Moto Grappa is envious of the space in your moto-stable and of the number of mounts in it. Pretty classy, too, to give public kudos to your vascular surgeon, Dr. Gates. :clap: Bill

    Moto Grappa Tech Days 2024

    Jason, I wasn't the least bit offended! I have been around national-class SA's all my life and find them invigorating. :clap: Understand the confusion about and affection for MG's. A Guzzista friend just bought an "A." My own and exceeding limited connection with a machine as lovely as...

    Moto Grappa Tech Days 2024

    I can only assume that you are being a smartssa -- and thus get an automatic invitation to next year's event :giggle: -- by meaning not much "tech." Actually, there was quite a bit, tho that was certainly eclipsed by the borbon, beer, food, and BS. :clap: OTOH,maybe you couldn't light up the...

    Moto Grappa Tech Days 2024

    Good morning from the Moto Grappa at the top of Virginia! Here is the slideshow I made of last weekend’s Moto Grappa Tech Days 2024 [MGTD ’24], the seventh in the MGTD series. Inasmuch as Scott is a “star” in this slideshow, it seemed fitting to post this here. So, I took 800+ pix; yes...

    New member from Paris (France) area

    Bienvenue! At convenience, send a photo or two of your V85 ... and your travels with it. Best from the top of Virginia, Bill

    Hello from Hastings Mn

    That, Scott, was a powerful and poetic paean to your father. What a great story. :clap: That sort of vivid telling only comes with experiencing "real life" in ways that are not always pleasant. :cry: Father-son relationships are sometimes -- and mostly in fiction -- idyllic. Mine was...

    greetings from Mondovi Wi

    Welcome. The "alphabet roads" in the Driftless area of SW Wisconsin -- and similar ones in SE Minn., NE Iowa, and NW Ill. -- are one of my favorite riding memories. Hoping to reprise that with a friend after our Kentucky "Mutton Run" in May. Bill

    Hello from Germany (Cologne)

    Willkommen! I have a 1998 V11 EV. That sweet old beast has 107,000 miles. What a splendid machine. Use the search function first, and, then, if still wondering about something you cannot find, post any questions over in the "loop & tonti" thread...

    Ahh…the season has started!

    Lovely shot. We get snow here, but nothing like my own distorted images of Sweden that always looks like our own home here once several years ago. That was rare and charming ... well, until it wasn't. Happily, "(dis)staff" here likes exercise. :inlove::giggle: Your own photo could have...
