My GDN no 894. I traded in my Ducati Multistrada 950S for her in November 2023. That was a great bike, but I've had a knee replacement & subsequently found the Ducati uncomfortable over distance. I've owned over 40 bikes over the last 55 years and taken many of them over the mountain passes of the Alps, Pyrenees & Picos over the last 30 years or so. My GDN will be going this year. If the weather behaves itself probably to the balcony roads in the Vercors region of France. I'm really impressed with the Guzzi. It's very comfortable and handles beautifully. It's not as powerful as the Multistrada, but has enough torque and speed for real word biking and the fit & finish is exceptional.
best wishes to all & I hope to see you on the roads as we travel about.

Seeing that old AA Telephone box in your photo reminded me of this one I found recently outside the legion Cross Pub in the village of Eardisland, Herefordshire. It's reputedly the oldest surviving box in Britain. AA Phone box Eardisland.jpg

For those of you outside of the British Isles, these emergency telephone boxes were situated about the countryside to enable AA (Automobile Association) members to call the organisation for assistance in the event of breakdown. Each member was issued a key and could also be used in a rival associations call box (RAC...Royal Automobile Club) They are now museum pieces since the advent of mobile/cell phones.
 
Reminds me of our payphone boxes here in the USA. A fading memory from a long time ago.
