New Guzzi Owner - California 1400

That would be great.  Would love to see some real world pics of the Corbin..In the pics we could find, the Corbin looked like it extended a bit further back than the stock touring.  Didn't know how it would look/work with the Hepco_Becker backrest we have.

We're gonna test out the Guzzi Seat over the next month and we'll keep the corbin in mind for the future.  We for sure like the look of the guzzi seat better.  May also have the guzzi seat re-done by a professional.

Cheers, Joe

So Here was the weekend.  Rose and I camped down with a bunch of friends in Morgan Monroe State forest and took the guzzi to continue testing gear and packing systems.  I then abandoned my wife at the campsite for Saturday and went to Moonshine, IL for the Lunch Run ( http://moonshine-run.com/Moonshine/ ).   Put a total of 8'ish hours of saddle time in Saturday :)  and many things happened.  

Checklist:

- had a great time riding a motorcycle
- got lost a number of times on gravel roads  (interesting on a 750lb + bike)
- let Craig put a cool black touring seat on the the bike at C&D Motorsports  
- Decided to stop at a cool graveyard in the middle of nowhere and get the guzzi stuck in loose grave on a road that zero cars passed in 20 minutes
     - Almost broke my arms rocking it backwards
     - Almost dropped it a couple of times (but didn't)
     - Cursed the bastard that dropped gravel in a perfect parking place without packing it down
     - Covered the guzzi in mud and made my self feel better by telling myself that this kind of stuff makes for better adventures.
- Came back after above fiasco and long day and finished Camping and had a nice ride with Rose back to Indy.

Here's some pics to prove it ;)  Midway through you'll see the Black touring seat magically appear on the bike.

So did Rose notice the seat or did you tell her you dropped by and nabbed the seat from a new bike?

I accidentally dropped it into group conversation that I swung down to Robinson....so she got it out of me before I got a chance to see if she'd notice.  So far so good :)
