Have Guzzi - will Snowbird
« on: January 22, 2019, 11:57:15 AM »
I retired - got a new life, got a new wife, got a new RV, got a Moto Guzzi Nevada mounted on the RV hitch and set sail in the land yacht to go snowbirding.  Been awesome.  Find a great place to camp & see the sights via the 750 Guzzi, searching out the best motorcycle roads, every day an adventure.  Lounged in a natural hot spa to watch the blood wolf moon in Desert Hot Springs, next day riding around Joshua Tree NP & rode a great gravel road shortcut amongst the huge boulders.

 
Headed to Phoenix area next week, then Benson AZ, who knows where after that.  Any Guzzi riders in the area?  Would love to ride with you.

Congratulations! No more answering to The Man. A riding buddy of mine retired 2 days ago and is headed to his winter place in AZ to emulate you. Someday.......

Except for the new wife part you are living my dream retirement. 

Ever since I was a kid and saw the Hardy Boys show with the bikes in their van I knew that is what I wanted to do. 

I would want a class B diesel pulling an enclosed bike trailer so I have the garage wherever I go.  Got to have the tools and a place to work on the ride from time to time.
