Title: Guzzi is good...
Post by: bad Chad on May 30, 2016, 01:51:45 PM
Riding the Red Arrow again this weekend, and kept coming back to "wow, this is a ver satisfying motorcycle!"   And I have ridden many motorcycles, and many Moto Guzzi; and what ALL the Guzzi had/have, them many of the others don't is "satisfaction"!

It's mostly the Guzzi motor.  It has all the bases covered.  It hits all my buttons. 

Long Live Guzzi!

Something is coming.

I put my shifter back on and rode the road in low range.  I think I found the rev limiter in low somewhere near 88mph.  It was an odd feeling -- hauls on up like it has no redline and all of a sudden acts like it's momentarily not getting spark.  I think they planned that so my flux capacitor wouldn't kick in.

But you have to get up to 88 in a few hundred yards because that's as long as the road goes straight and the driveways aren't hidden.  That was the satisfying part -- turning up the volume control and letting my demon choir of BUBs  sing.

Amen, brothers. With the T limping or bedridden since the flood, and decommissioned since September, it has been a joy to ride the Mille. Hallelujah.

With basically the same engine in the 1200 Sport, it does hit all the right buttons. No matter the road, when I'm riding it, I have a conversation with my Guzzi and the road.

We gots more end of road signs than stop lights.


I restrict the warp speed stuff to a certain stretch of highway way out toward the end of the road.  Nobody lives there and I can see far enough ahead to not get in trouble.
