Going to a private motorcycle get-together in southern Virginia at the end of May. There will be a few Moto Guzzi 85's from the Pittsburgh area there. Most riders will be on BMW, both older ones and new. Only "goose" for me now is the old V50. That's not usable for two-up mountain riding.

Larry,

Where is that "private motorcycle get-together in southern Virginia at the end of May?"

Not to worry, not inviting myself! :giggle:

Seriously, I'll be in Kentucky running for mutton, followed by chasing cheese curds in the Driftless. Still, I am curious about your venue.

I was down that way last week. Grand roads.

Have a fine time.

Bill

Your picture was slightly messed up.🫣

I improved it for a man your age. Much more becoming now. You now see you and your beautiful Spyder instead of … 😄

I don’t give a hoot about politics but at my age, I find this ever constant willingness of people to direct the F-word phrase at people, in public no less, is just vulgar. Especially this one which people think is cute but it really isn’t.

It’s more vulgar because everyone knows what was the original phrase that was chanted out on national tv. It’s disrespectful.

We don’t have to like the man, but we should respect the office he holds and I wouldn’t want to say those words in the presence of my grandparents.

Nice color Spyder btw.

Do you enjoy your Spyder?

I drove one with Jordan as a possible replacement for his Ural GearUp sidecar rig, but it was definitely not my cup of tea and was cramped for the two of us.

It just seemed funny driving to me which was rather disappointing as I adore my Piaggio MP3 with two front wheels , but they are fully articulated while the Spyder is not. That made higher speed cornering a tad uncomfortable and the steering very vague. I also found myself pressing the front wheel to the point of loss of traction and sliding which was truly disconcerting. 🤷‍♂️

My middle autistic son wants me to buy a Vanderhall. 🤦‍♂️😆❤️

He loves going to go see them at Ben Breece Harley-Davidson.
