Guzzi is good...
« on: May 30, 2016, 01:51:45 PM »
Riding the Red Arrow again this weekend, and kept coming back to "wow, this is a ver satisfying motorcycle!"   And I have ridden many motorcycles, and many Moto Guzzi; and what ALL the Guzzi had/have, them many of the others don't is "satisfaction"!

It's mostly the Guzzi motor.  It has all the bases covered.  It hits all my buttons. 

Long Live Guzzi!

Something is coming.

I put my shifter back on and rode the road in low range.  I think I found the rev limiter in low somewhere near 88mph.  It was an odd feeling -- hauls on up like it has no redline and all of a sudden acts like it's momentarily not getting spark.  I think they planned that so my flux capacitor wouldn't kick in.

But you have to get up to 88 in a few hundred yards because that's as long as the road goes straight and the driveways aren't hidden.  That was the satisfying part -- turning up the volume control and letting my demon choir of BUBs  sing.

Something is coming.

With basically the same engine in the 1200 Sport, it does hit all the right buttons. No matter the road, when I'm riding it, I have a conversation with my Guzzi and the road.

Ha!  I'll run out of town before I get run out.   :bike-037:











We gots more end of road signs than stop lights.


I restrict the warp speed stuff to a certain stretch of highway way out toward the end of the road.  Nobody lives there and I can see far enough ahead to not get in trouble.
