You’re making me miss living in NH. So easy to hop onto a Class VI road, the mountains, or the beach.

Enjoying my visit, but looking forward to returning to Tennessee.    Too many cars, and too slow speed limits in New England.

You should’ve waited until Bike Week to come up! Granted, you gotta deal with a lot of unnecessary cruiser attitudes and lawyers in leather, but the Gunstock Hill Climb (dirt), Weirs Beach Hill Climb (vintage bikes on street) and USCRA vintage races and Loudon Classic race are worth visiting for. Then ride the Kancamagus, Crawford Notch, Hurricane Mountain Road, Bear Notch, or the myriad forest unmaintained roads.

Too low speed limits ,how fast do you ride that 200 Suzuki?

NH and Vermont are heaven for dual sports. I believe Vermont has more miles of gravel roads than paved roads. Very little if any traffic.

Nice photos!

When I got my Mandello the dealer screwed up the sidecar order as it wasn't done. It was going to be another couple of months after I had already waited for two. The only ones I could find were at Seacost, I left a message on Monday when they were closed. I called first thing Tuesday a lady answered, I don't remember her name,  she answered with hi Karl before I could say a word. They were shipped within the hour. My former local dealer should take a hint, good luck with that. That's customer service.

Faster than 30!  Then country roads that are 30 here would be 45 in Tennessee.   All the dirt roads are 25 here and would be 45 in Tennessee because 45 is the speed unless otherwise posted. 

The Van Van 200 will run 55 all day long except for a good hill.  Then I am down to.40.  I typically run 50 around Tennessee.   

I did accidentally get on I-95 north in MA and got off at the.very next exit in NH.  I ran 65 whatever that distance was with the.throttle pinned.

I fully believe they’re good people from service to parts and sales, but ever since I bought my V7 II from them in 2017, the Italian Eagle marquee comes across as their lowest priority when you visit. Their hearts are in the Ducatis and Aprilias.

That was evident by the.layout of the showroom.  A lot of "racetrack" talk among employees where some even stopped riding on the street.

I could still be around here the middle of June. 

Not sure how the Van Van would do in the mountain region.   

I want to.ride the flatlander BDR.

Went to a one day Guzzi rally in NH at the Lempster Wind  Farm during -.  Rep Randy Tefft set it up.  On top of a mountain, very cool.  Miles of well groomed dirt.

Went to a Royal Enfield Demo Event near the coast yesterday.

I like what they are doing with the 650 twins, but the drivetrain doesn't compare to my V7III for smooth power delivery.

I do like the 650 classic.
