Just my normal, amateurish, gushing stuff:

Moto Guzzi Convert - No.2 in my video review series: https://youtu.be/tqGOdj5KjbY (https://youtu.be/tqGOdj5KjbY)

Excellent as usual, Nick. I miss my California II auto. Watching your videos, makes me think that a Quota with a convert drive train, if its possible to do, would be a cool fire road bike!

That would definitely be an interesting bike. Perhaps someone has done it already??

     Hey Nick,     I had to wait until I got out of my Xplornet, end of the month bandwidth purgatory, before I could watch your video,  :rolleyes: but it was well worth the wait,very well done! :thumb:

     I've been on that Maberly/Plevna/Denbigh/Bancroft part of your route, haven't been on the other roads on your tour yet, but they are already on my to do list.

     I still keep a loose eye out for Converts, there's one just north of Cornwall right now for sale, not sure if it's the same bike, but the mileage and the price are quite a bit higher than the $500 barn find I turned down in Alexandria a few years ago,  :violent1:  :cry:

     I love hearing your real world impressions and opinions on your bikes, and look forward to your thoughts on other motorcycles.

     Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe

     Kelly

Thanks Kelly, I sent you a PM regarding a Convert.  It looks like nice weather for the next few days. Perhaps you'll have a chance to get out for a spin.
