Full disclosure, @Pressureangle is an ATGATT guy, but was just pulling out from breakfast, headed a mile back to The Lodge.

I will vouch that he accepts that socks is gear and "all the socks all the time" is the way to roll . . .

Okay, proof positive:

He can sure put away the pancakes and eggs, too.🥞🍳

There is "something" beyond definition about riding with these sorts of riders . . .

Something that engenders a genuine respect and admiration . . .

Not that I'm jealous or anything, but that looks like a really nice bit of road.

Ah, yah, man: The Cherohala Skyway.  I know you are fond of this source:

And this image from https://cherohala.com/ . . .

That looks fantastic.

One thing, though. Funny marks on the road here. I wonder how they happened?

No Goozzees were harmed in the making of these marks!

[Pirellis are replacement items, after all . . .  ]

As prolific as I try to be, capturing images along the way, I could not find anything with @Josh's 1973 V7Sport juxtaposed with @KINDOY2's 2025 V85TT.

Fifty-three years of Moto Guzzi, together, on the same ride!

So, I made this collage (with my 2000 Sport in the background, almost exactly halfway between the bookend years) . . .

SpineFrames and SpineRaids bring a smile.

Just ask @sctt2525, who's been dropping by since SSR II/2006.

I'll not be so lazy again as to ride even that short distance in short socks and vent tennies. I was naked and afraid. Mostly cold tho.
