While in Owensboro, I visited the statue of Nicky Hayden, #69, I think this is from his victory lap at Laguna Seca after winning the Moto GP Championship against Valentino Rossi. He later hugged his dad and started crying, epic. Anyways, "in these parts" he's a legend, and deservedly so.
Wow, very nice choice by your Dad.
I'm familiar with that blue color.
The camera angle and light, don't do it justice, that's absolutely one of the best stock colors I have ever seen on anything,simply gorgeous.
Bike came with Koni 230, but WAY to soft. Have had very good experiences with Wilbers on other bikes. Just had to run the oil varm and running carbs dry before hibernation today. Just 15miles, felt soo m better. Nkr 12879. Price is around the same all over I think. I can't order from Germany, just local dealer here in Norway. It's amasing what good suspension will do for your bike.
Cheers Tom.
I didn't but my dad traded his 2018 Kawasaki Z900rs in on a 2022 MG V7 Special 850 at the KY Guzzi Rally. After riding it yesterday, I was surprised how civil the 850 "small block" ran. With little buzz and plenty of torque to make speed, I also like the blue color of this model. Dad is a spritely 78yr old, loves to ride when he can, this will be his first Guzzi.
Taking advantage of today's strong US dollar to make Euro-denominated parts feel cheaper.
This is probably a good time for US members to buy from Italy and UK too. My Joe Caruso gears would have felt 20% cheaper if I bought them today.
