I was out on the Stelvio yesterday riding up and down the sides of the Blue Ridge.

You're right, couldn't have been a prettier day to be riding in the mountains ....

Hey Vintagehoarder,
Nice Roamer! I sat on one 2 years ago at the Montreal motorcycle show and it fit me well. 32 degrees and the dew on my grill cover was frozen, spring is late for us (off and on).

Glad to see folks are out riding. Haven't been many bikes to wave to since March 18th. Of course where I ride I don't see much on the roads but the occasional farm vehicle, or animal that jumped a fence.

looking good. the ago's are boss. my only real gripe about most new bikes is that the exhausts are too physically large. i understand that they have to be to meet epa decibel requirements and still allow descent power. but, that doesn't mean i have to like it. that 3/4 rear photo is the best look for the bike in my opinion.

Nice over here on this side of the river as well. Beautiful V9 too.

Gorgeous, Curt. Still my absolute favorite Guzzi of all time, slightly edging out those wonderful V7s I owned.

Brian, wasn't it you that said the Roamer cockpit felt alot like your V11 Cali? (don't recall if you had a Jackal or a Stone)

I threw a leg over a Bobber the other day, minutes after completing 140 miles on my Jackal, and thought the same. Seems like so much less visually, but close your eyes in the cockpit and I think seat height and orientation really are similar.

Nice photos Curt!

I was actually referencing the engine. It felt closer to my previous 1100 models than it did to my V7 models. I believe Kev M may have said the same but not speaking for him here.

You're right though....
