JAS67 makes the cover of Common Tread...
« on: September 09, 2016, 07:00:53 AM »



My latest ZLA article (my rules for an epic road trip, and a story about my little bro's and my trip to the Curtiss Museum last month) went live this morning:

http://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/my-three-simple-rules-for-an-epic-motorcycle-tour


Hope you guys like it as we continue to try and carry the Guzzi banner!

Nice PR!

I love Revzilla and hope that their tie-up with Cycle Gear doesn't affect their online presence and hopefully improves the pathetic CG retail experience.

Agreed, except next time leave out the part about the shockingly cute young woman "starved for company" UNLESS YOU HAVE A PIC!    :thewife:   :thewife:   :wink:

Yep, my kind of trips.  Take a simple 300 mile journey and make it 500 somehow.

What's a motel ?

 Not bad Kev , not bad  :bike-037:

  Dusty

Motel: Rented place of temporary habitation.  Frequently owned by Hindu Indians.  Part of the Red Dot Inn chain of motels.  Proprietors named Patel.    :grin:

From the Deep Deep South out in left field.  There are no stupid questions.  There are however stupid people asking questions.  🤣, this includes me.  😉 Hawaii.

     Nice job Kev. I basically follow the same rules but take my camping gear just in case. People that don't ride don't get it.

Well written.  And exactly the right attitude in my opinion.

Thanks Kev. I really enjoyed the read. As my buddy Leroy says, there are two rules for a trip.

1. There are no rules!
2. Refer to rule number 1.

That was really kind of Jay to do that for the waitress, BTW.  :bow:

It has been a few years since I visited the Curtiss Museum. It IS a worthwhile destination for sure. Over at Seneca Lake, there is a schooner you can take rides on called the True Love. Main claim to fame is the movie High Society (1956). Bing Crosby, Grace Kelley, Frank Sinatra were in that movie and have set foot on that very boat.

I'm glad you guys had a great trip.
