Just got it firing!
I had recently sold a car and figured I’d use some of the money to buy myself another bike. I went to my dealer here in San Diego with every intention of trying the MGX-21. I’ve got an Aprilia RSV4 and a Harley Street Bob and figured it’d be cool to have a cruiser/bagger.
Well- suffice it to say I walked out the owner of a brand new 2016 New old stock Audace. It’s been a few weeks and I’m literally riding it almost every day. I thought it’d stay in the garage except for long trips- but I find myself grabbing it almost every day. The bike is just really fun!
I’ve got Todd’s fueling and exhaust kit- and that should be great. The bike could certainly use some more grunt.
I’m pretty shocked at how well the thing handles for a big bike. I also have an H&H fairing on its way and I think I’m going to paint it red to match the red cylinder heads. It should look ok. Part of me really wants f to get a Russ Wernimont Design FXDR style fairing and figure out how to get it mounted to the frame- but the H&H should provide good protection for my first long trip. (I’m riding it from San Diego to Boulder to see my nephews.) I got the Orbit Sidecases today too- but they’re much smaller than I thought.
Anyone have any experience with them?
Anyway- I’m smitten. I love this bike so much I’ve decided that I’m not going to be building a Harley for next season’s Hooligan Flat Track series- I’m going to build a V7 flat track bike. Crazy but I just really love the character of these bikes.
Thanks for the warm welcome here. It’s great to finally have a Guzzi.
