I was in that neck of the woods last week, near Portland ME., absolutely beautiful country!
I know it will be more beautiful the next couple weeks when the leaves start turning more👍
Pictures are always more satisfying 👍

Low 60s in the AM, going up to low-mid 70s by midday. Change of precipitation = 2%...can it get much better?

I agree, I was there too, great turnout! Havent seen that many MGs all together in a while. I had the blue V85tt travel.

If the other v85tt travel is a member here, I see you have upgraded suspension-tell us how it compares to the stock suspension?

Great turnout and a great day for an early fall ride! My Cal has a brake issue, so the Monster got the nod.

The V85 TT Travel: Nelson has a Bitubo shock that is shorter and a Matris cartridge kit in the forks. Call Jim Hamlin at Hamlin Cycles in Bethel, CT for details...

Hey! Pete from Peter's Town.
I'd bet that bike runs well with the screw driven valve gear. Always wanted one of them. Ya gotta remember: No backing up while in gear!

Regarding the record setting appearance? It's becoming a habit. At Lars Anderson, a week ago, there were 23! I recall some wise guy, upon seeing the Guzzi turn-out one night @ Moto Market (9MG's ~20 years ago). He asked if that was MG's total production. Shear envy. Embarrassed that he don't know nuthin.  R3~
