I thought you lived on an old wooden sailing boat somewhere anchored in the Atlantic Ocean?

6 acres out in the country outside of Cleveland Tn, 37323.  Close to great riding roads and the Cherohala skyway!

This thread is awesome as I can relate to many of you. I’m from Wisconsin, live in Austin very close to AF1, visit Kansas often as my wife is from Hutch, and learned about Cleveland, TN last year when I started sponsoring a guy who lives there. And the Cherohala is one of the greatest roads I’ve ridden.

I voted rural because my place is on 2 acres and I can't see my neighbors...  But really big dispersed lots on the side of a mountain on a state-maintained gravel road with only about 10 driveways along the 1.5mi length.  Could be the Exurbs, but I am only 15min to the centrer of downtown and maybe 8/12min to the busy commercial corridor thru south of town or I-40 on the Eastside...

All this just outside the greatest place on earth- Asheville NC

Forest, VA.

Line of sight to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Nice curvy backroads are only a couple miles away where more than 30 horsepower is not useable.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is about 15 miles away, depending upon which back roads are ridden.

Tom, I'm going to suggest that if you listed or re list this thread with a title more like, "Guzzi Poll, make your vote count, where do you live?" or something similar you might get significantly more responses.   I almost skipped this thread only because I have seen a similar subject line a few times over the years and didn't realize you went to the minor trouble of making an actual poll.

I live in SW Iowa on a gravel road near a town even Iowans have never heard of!! I certainly never see another Guzzi in our area, but I seldom see another even in my travels around our beautiful country.

I was hoping someone would say "2 weeks from anywhere...this place is a geographical oddity!"

Currently (things may change, they always do) I am spending my Summers in the Seattle suburb of Tukwila in a 1930s cottage on a 7500 square ft lot and my Winters in Arkansas on the 120 acre farm I grew up on. Very rural. 20 miles to the grocery store, but no sirens no jet airplanes.

Southwestern Ontario in central Canuckistan, an hour west of Toronto.   A few hours north of my town of 150k puts you into Canadian shield - rocks and trees and some pretty fun (if poorly paved) roads.  Could be worse.

Looks like most of the "respondents" are rural residents with 'burb people being 2nd.   :boozing:

I'm surprised by that but maybe it's an age thing: retirees.

If you add city and suburban you get a majority of riders.
