An announcement to the forum: I have joined a new rider's group. I have found a new job in Nashville, and my new workplace is dominated by riders of all sorts, from a Ducati to a Honda NC700 to BMW and various Harley's and clones. Introducing myself as owning a Guzzi, I get equal responses. Half blink unknowingly, and half say "Oh, really?". I look forward to being an emissary for the brand, and to getting out on the terrific middle Tennessee roads.
Anyone in the area looking for a ride, I'm looking for tour guides. Opry passes might be involved...
