This was mentioned at the VA Guzzi rally, but I haven't seen anything about it posted here yet.

  Now that's a real motorcycle.

Probably less of a dealer network than our favorite brand.

We're talkin' 30 mph for 3,500 miles across desert, mountains, you name it !!!  Hope he's really not riding alone.  It's gonna be brutal!   :violent1:  I've met Randy and he's a great guy, but.......... :huh:

Your Old Milwaukee is jumbling your data. I talked to Randy yesterday and it will do 37 and he doesn't know how fast it will go in Meskin overdrive.  Yes, he is doing it alone.  That is the only way to travel if you want to make time. We'll see him when he comes to texas.

Drinking PBR to keep the facts right.

The article said top speed of 35.  Hope he's not riding it flat out all the time.  I don't drink PBR any more.   :tongue:   You must be thinking about Bill Lovelady.  Or YOU are drinking pbr?   :shocked:

It is a good cause and a good guy doing it! I handed Randy 100 bucks at the National toward it. I believe if you go to the Wounded Warrior Project page, you can find a place where anybody can contribute.

A buddy of mine had one of those, so I'v rode one before.  I couldn't ride one 35 mi much less 3500.  They are not very butt friendly, good luck to him!

We'll be greeting him when he gets to the lone star state in a few days.
