Title: Anti Rally @ BRMC in Cruso NC Pics
Post by: drbone641 on August 06, 2017, 07:10:54 PM
Had a great weekend at one of my favorite places to take my bike. Blue Ridge Motorcycle Camp had a great turnout of Guzzi's and Guzzi riders, on 'less than Italian' bikes. Phil and family were outstanding hosts (as usual). Met some great folks, learned a lot and had a good ride today with Nick (New Jersey). Look forward to seeing you all again.

Good to see you made it up. The rain held off until I passed ATL airport and then I got soaked.  :thumb:
Well met.

But a wet ride home today, huh?  :rolleyes:

If nearby on your route and need a towel, stop in.

I had a great time. A lot of 'corporate knowledge' was available and shared. I also got a few hundred miles on the new bike. I have to admit that my expectations of "good handling, for a cruiser", that a few articles had proffered, were very low. Then, after a few hours in the great twisty mountain roads, I realize that the 1400 does very well in the curves, much better than I had expected. You get a good bit of lean, before the floorboards touch down, and a bit more, before the hard bits stop your lean. While she isn't as nimble as my Multistrada, she did very well, earning some surprised respect. This bike is continuing to impress me.
