I saw a Guardia d'Onore model in the Encinitas showroom back in July. Quite a good looking bike indeed. Doesn't seem as "wide" visually as a Stelvio with the rear bags, very purposeful. I'd be tempted to try one out, but I'm out of room in the garage...4 bikes and I can't even contemplate getting rid of any of them. Yours is setup quite nicely!

A modern day Greenie!

Nice write up there...So it's more of an homage to the mountains rather than an Africa Twin livery copy. Coincidence on the styling, but nice back story to be sure.

Oh I'm in trouble now...look at the blue V100! Just lovely! Have to say that the V85 gets better looking each year...nicely kitted out for adventures and still very stylish.

An Africa Twin version of the Stelvio...hard to believe they could not have come up with better color combination. Nonetheless, still a beautiful bike...

Truly a thriller to watch....until Marc crashed...but man, Peco and Jorge were really racing at an amazing level. What a great race to watch and a tremendous come back for Peco compared to the Sprint fiasco.

Having seen your posts on FB on the same topic, I would say, don't be cheap...fight your natural tendency to "cheapness"...even if at times it's a Guzzi quality characteristic. If you have time to do it wrong and fix it 3 times, do it right once and pay a fair price.

Looks like a Sturgis on steroids...about 400,000 people showing up. I have never been, even though it's only 1.5 hours away...I might be interested in seeing 0.01% of the actual bikes there...not my cup of tea. I have been to smaller rallies or bike nights (Wednesday night on Beale Street in Memphis for example) and you see some amazing custom bikes...but it's only a few hundred people, not 1000's. Unfortunately the ride down is not that interesting either...all freeway...not even that exciting a ride.

Maybe if you drove slowly on Westview only...or down to Starbucks it would be OK. Unfortunately any of the feeder roads would be massively unsafe for sure...but it could be fun for Cars & Coffee at Uptown Park!

Even for Italian standards, that % deviation from marked vs. actual is off by more than the standard Guzzi!

Tuk Tuk's are now very popular in Mexico too....of course also in India (Auto Rickshaw is what they call it...at least in Bangalore). I think it would be cool to have one...far cooler than a regular golf cart to go around the neighborhood or get a coffee or to the local ice cream parlor. P6X...are you going to buy the one in Dallas?

That's a must buy! Perfect for transporting kids to school!

I was tempted to go...just back from 10 days in Italy with the family, but unfortunately I have commitments all day Saturday. The ride out there is thru some very nice scenery...hopping over to Louisiana over the Taylor Bend reservoir is a very nice ride indeed! The weather is absolutely superb...I hope to get out on Sunday for a nice long ride...

...with an unexpected outcome given the rather unusual start as well. That has to be a record...coming from last to first against 2 super stars.

I have the Moto GP app on Apple TV…there is also a good 6 minute summary on YouTube…you can find the Moto GP channel and it will show highlights of the races and sprints and other interesting tidbits. I’m not sure if there are any other sources to see the whole race besides the MotoGP app on AppleTV
