Stelvios in Tofino BC
« on: August 23, 2017, 11:23:58 PM »
We were in Tofino Tuesday morning and while enjoying breakfast outside we saw two Stelvios ride by.
Wondering if it's anyone local to the Victoria area.
I'd sure like to see one of these bikes up close!

Tofino is an excellent environment for the Stelvio!

Yup, that's what we thought too.

not sure about the bikes locate exactly on the island, but I have chatted up with two different Stelvio owners who lives in Vancouver/Barnaby area who just love to ride on the island...

Tofino itself is a fun place to ride for sure...just too bad the ferry is stupid costly here or I would love to be there every weekend instead of Sea-to-sky Highway...

Life isn't WHAT IS at the end.
It is HOW and WHAT you are doing to get there.

Yup, it's pretty awesome riding.
Are you a Stelvio owner?

Wow, that's nice!
I'm doing the three-step between GSA, Super Tenere and the Stelvio.
Problem is finding the latter two to ride.

Ya I have seen that one in person too...really nice condition...just need to save up more and clear with the wife lol...

GSA is EVERYWHERE...they are literally like a flock of birds...

But Super Tenere & Stelvio sure are the rare birds...

Funny thing is I noticed more Stelvio than Super Tenere...Tenere maybe once or twice in Squamish?

Either that or I just have my eyes for the Guzzi more than the Yamaha LOL...

Though I'd likely never buy new, the Stelvio and S10 are the same price new.

I've never ridden an MG but I'm keen to try one.

Actually, when comparably equipped (luggage, lights, etc.) their price starts to draw apart; In terms of actual selling price, the difference is also a bit more notable. The feel and handling of the two bikes is also rather different, so a test ride is well-advised.
