Greetings fellow Guzzi riders, So far this Cal touring has been flawless. I can't say the same for the Norge I had, but thats a whole another story. The cal is so smooth, solid, for the most part comfortable for me. I like how mechanical this bike sounds and feels. I guess many would call it that great Guzzi vibe, mechanical poetry in motion. The bike now has just over 2200 miles on it.
Saturday 14th May 2016 I got a wild hair and rode to Wilmington NC to eat on the river front looking across the river to see the USS NC (BB-55). Then I rode to a friends house on Ocean Isle, then returned to Winston Salem NC all in one day. First long all day trip. Bike was flawless. 523 miles @ 10.7 gallons for just under 49 miles a gallon. I have read that mileage improves as the bike continues to break in :-) I averaged about 72 MPH I guess. Bike is in performance mode. Just wanted to share how pleased I am with this motorcycle. BK
