Just for the suspenders crowd, all Guzzi have come with synthetic since at least 1999, if not earlier.

blu Guzz I am in central Ohio northwest of Columbus about 1/2 hour, so unlikely unless I am doing a ride in your lovely state.

Actually reports have been trickling in on ADV rider that make it sound QUITE geographical. Even AF1 is likely that as much as anything else. The reports are radiating out from the Texas distribution center after the ship landed on the Gulf Coast.

Reports to date include:

TN (one of the earliest), MN, MI, NC, OH, CA, and WA in roughly that order give or take a few.

MA still waiting - CT still waiting...

OKC dealer has gotten 3 as of last weekend. Two of which are sold/gone and a grey one as a demo that Don, owner of Motive Cycleworks, is riding all the time. He said he is trying to get more.

They are slowly trickling through the US right now.

Portland & Seattle (Kirkland) both have reported to have at least 2 bikes on the lot right now.

Meanwhile Canada...*cricket*...

I saw a gray one at Erico in Denver last week.... Sorry, Cam....

Cam’s bike is probably stuck in traffic on the Jersey turnpike in route to Connecticut.

So true. Or the truck couldn’t afford the tolls.

Moto Richmond confirmed yesterday that their two are on the way.

Richard went last week to pick up his from GP Cycles in San Diego. He's lives in PHX.

I spoke with GP late last week. A Richard was mentioned and his red/yellow/white bike was there. GP had four in initial stock, three were by then gone, eleven total have been ordered so likely one is in current stock with seven more incoming. I kidded Paul Lima about this being the next Gran Canyon in terms of sales potential and he reminded me that GP sold approximately sixty GCs way back when, quite a number of them going to Mexico.

"Missed it by that much!"

(Get Smart)

It's to replace his wadded up Cal 1400 Touring. He didn't get hurt and his full coverage on a 75K miles bike paid off. I told him that it's a rough way to get a new bike plus he doesn't bounce as well.

Cam3512 · « **Reply #47 on:** July 24, 2019, 06:02:01 PM »

My V85 is now at Hamlin’s being prepped and accessories added. Now I need to get some time off to go pick it up!

I spent two hours on the George Washington bridge last summer, making it four hours plus from Newark to Norwalk.

Hope that was in a car, because I usually split lanes on the bike over the GWB. I don’t believe that I have ever seen a highway patrol vehicle on that bridge in the last 40 +years.

"I usually split lanes on the bike over the GWB." Me too!

NJ and NY side of the bridges too. If'n y'all don't. Youse could be stuck in traffic a very long time.

I stopped by the shop to have a new battery installed and the rats nest of accessory wiring cleaned up and the nice man at the shop suggested why spend money on a new battery when I can get a whole new bike.

He showed me a bike the he was prepping and suggested that the the deposit holder(some guy in NJ) would probably be better off with a used and highly accessorized V7.

Soooooooooooooooooo, behold my new purchase.
