Title: I'm blue GC

Thanks to K99 for having this Stelvio for sale close enough for me to get off my butt and grab a big bike to ride around on.  Quite a trip (7 hour train ride, 90 minute Uber ride past a wildfire that closed the other half of the freeway, getting to the bank 5 minutes before it closed so the transaction could be completed and a 3 hour ride after buying it in 100 degree heat to get a bit of the way home) but worth it for sure. 

Today was getting to the AAA office for title transfer and insurance and I took a bit of a side trip including an entire mile of dirt road on the way home.  I was enjoying the ride on the dirt so much that I forgot to get a picture as planned so these will have to do.

Thanks for the post guys, I love the bike so far.  I felt bad that I forgot to get a picture of it on the dirt road so I went back after installing the MRA X-tour screen on the bike.

I also found the enemy out and about

I like the new addition to the screen, it gives me just a bit of air flow into the helmet with the visor open but I don't get any buffeting and it is quieter as well.
