Photo from mid July on route to catch Hull to Rotterdam ferry and ride onto the Czech WSB round at Most. The first proper outing since completing the running in process.
The V100 was excellent during 10 days 2500 miles adventure. Comfortable during all day riding, quick enough to keep pace with friends on Tiger 1200, MT09, and XR1000. Agile enough to enjoy a few days carving through Germanys Harz mountains and returned mid 50's mpg throughout. As an aside there was a V100S on outgoing ferry parked in front of mine. Owner seemed pleased enough with his bike. Then on the return ferry a red V100 was similarly strapped down in front of my bike. Bizarrely the owner of this Mandello appeared during disembarkation and I recognised him as someone I used to work with 12 years ago! We spent so long talking about the old days that I didn't learn too much about his Guzzi history.
