The Tapoco Lodge burgers are bangin'. Just sayin'.

It's a WKF that red paint has much higher tensile strength than black hence the more chassis rigidity of the red framers and better handling. You need to carry a post it note with "please turn" to stick to the top triple clamp every time you come to a corner with a black framer /sidecar hauler. Real men like em to wriggle a bit when you're riding em. ciao

Kathi waves at the 129photos guy on the Cherohala. I was focused on and praying that leaky rear tire would get us safely to Wheeler's! Bill

Where do these kids get these crazy ideas ? ! ?

The Tapoco Lodge is such a delight for lunch and proximity to Deal's Gap etc. Plus it has great parking, including a covered area for motorcycles. Upon arrival, I found this spectacular V11 Tenni for an impromptu photo op . . .

I agree that 170 rear narrower rim will turn quicker that the 180 wider rim. But the red frames just prettier, handle better and so much faster (so long as it doesn't weave at speed with bags on and crack the transmission).

Looks like i'll be heading out to bring home this next Lemans later this month. Done plenty of these longer road trips, and much longer, but never on a Goose, and especially not on a goose that i haven't had in my shop first to go through. The seller has replaced all the relays, and a few other good but important details like that, and its got fresh tires, etc. But i'll be needing to travel very light, so looking at building my smallest possible but decent travel tool kit. Most of it is straightforward enough, but any suggestions that are Guzzi specific from this hoard of experienced owners and road-trippers? already planning to bring a jack hammer, backhoe, and tig welder (:->), but what else in the way of James Bond like stealthy and light but functional stuff is suggested?

Lots of things to solve but SHE is so nice!

i just ordered from onlinemicro. so far so good. says UPS ground will ship out today for $8, in US.

Dorcia and I went there last year..

I have, and ride both. the red frame handles the curves much better, but I'm not the racy sort so.... something to do with the tire/rim size, and something to do with the short frame for sure. beyond that, the long frame is at home on my favorite type roads, long sweepers. If I were to build one for racing I'd put the money into a short one... with the bracing from a long one.

^^^^^^^ THAT is funny! And a nice pic, too. We are at my brother’s home In Hiawassee. Will head nawth to home on Wed. Will try to post some pix soon. We had a fine time at the SSR XV! B&K
