Speculation, prediction, mental masturbation, menstruation who cares. Like Johnny VT and pressure eagle I suggest we settle this like men! Thumb wrestling or a staring contest you choose. Pick your venue. Denny's, Cracker Barrel, Red Robin....

I'll warn you now I've trained 5 to 7 days a week for decades for a challange such as this.

Rules:

1. No light beer
2. No cheap whisky/whiskey
3. Mixed drinks can contain no more than 2 ingredients. Ice not considered an ingredient
4. Good music must be played
5. Pissing in the lawn encouraged
6. If drinking tequila on the rocks we must have keylime pie to accompany it.

Sounds like an even match!

We'll have to get Jay to organize a smallblock rally!

If its a smallblock rally it'll have to be here. The V7R no longer has tags or insurance. Its officially been dry docked and forgotten about.

I'm not sure Jay knows about charcuterie, cheeses or low and slow BBQ off the  BGE. 






You win.... 🤤🤤🤤

OK.  Exit 3 in Brattleboro, VT to exit 14 in Burlington.  It�s 155 miles. My stock 2014 California 1400 Touring against any stock 883 from the 90�s.  I figure between the fact there�s a 25mph difference in topend and that you�ll have to stop in White River Junction to fill your peanut tank I should be on my second or third beer with all my gear in the chair next to me by the time you arrive.  Oh...and any time in November would be good.  A 90�s 883 can run heated gear, right?

I forgot the part where I want to do it at night.  A nice brisk Vermont evening right around Thanksgiving is the perfect time.

I promise that I'll have a bowl of warm water ready for you when you arrive.  I'll pour it on you so we can separate you from your bike like the kid in A Christmas Story who stuck his tongue on the flagpole.  A couple shots of brandy and you'll be right as rain.  When your teeth stop chattering I'll follow KevM and Perazzimx14's excellent suggestion and we can have some Vermont sheep cheese, maple infused vodka and a locally raised, grass fed steak.   :boozing:

When charcuterie like this is served everybody wins.

When my buddy BP (the guy who rides at least 10 miles every day for the last 6000 days) gets back from Alaska I have guanchalai that will have been aged 22 weeks to make a nice pasta carbonara :food:.

Maybe Dusty can put this on the program for the next Wild Guzzi Rally.

Sir, I deem you the genius of the board.  If you're not a man of wealth and taste- at the very least, you're a scholar and gentleman.   :boozing:

What part of handling is the weather?

What do you consider stock?

You gonna step up to something further than your back porch?

I really don't think you're taking this seriously.

I really don't think you're taking this seriously.

You said name the time and place.  You said you could set up the suspension on an 883 Sportster overnight to beat any Guzzi.  You said I could name my race point to point.  Weather most certainly affects the handling of a motorcycle(as will your uncontrollable shivering).  It's not my fault you're walking it back.  Don't let your crocodile mouth talk you into trouble your hummingbird ass can't handle.  I don't think anyone misunderstands what stock means but I'm too lazy to remove my Mistral slip-ons.  You can put on a set of slip-ons and rejet.  How's that?  I was laughing last night at the thought of setting my cruise control at 105mph...so you could see my lights slowly dwindling away in front of you...as your vision blurred from the vibration of an 883 at redline.  I'm pretty sure every part of your body in contact with your bike would go to sleep within 10 miles.  You might want to get a really thick gel pad to sit on in case you want to have children some day.  You're lucky that a Cali 1400 is electronically limited to 125mph. 

The following Guzzi's would hand you your ass in this race;

EVERY BIG BLOCK BUILT SINCE 2000

If I still had my 1200 Sport I'd get to Burlington a half hour before you did.  With my Cali it'll only be 20 minutes.

Feel free to make any fork and shock mods you like.  Fit it with Ohlins for all I care.

A Harley? Something I like to bait on my Burgman. It's a new sport.
Find a road couch going by and make sure they see that you're on a scooter.
Pull out behind and match their speed.
As soon as they speed up, which North American concepts of manhood require that they do, continue to match their speed.
Stay the same distance behind, regardless, although catching up a bit is acceptable if they slow too much in the corners. 
Back off when you can see they're out-riding the bike or their skill. 
It's great fun. You can sense the testes shrinking  :evil:
