Just before Torrey , we had a great ride between thunderstorms, typical of these situations, we never caught any lightning on camera.

But, we did 'catch' a bison

Jan,

Appears the trip is going well!!! People are asking in other places just how capable the smallblocks are, your trips are evidence of the bike's capabilities. It is great to see these ride reports!!!!

What's the total mileage on the bike now????

Sorry we won't connect on this trip.

edited to add that I posted a link to the blog on Wild Guzzi
 
Oh man, I sure wish I were out touring right now instead of sitting in a cubicle farm.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Looking forward to more updates.

Hi again.
As we sit here in Torrey, there are 41 020 mi on the clock, there was 10 miles on the clock from the dealers, as they knew I was not able to test ride the bike, before flying it from Manchester to Toronto.
The only problem I have had, so far, was when the sneakily hidden brake pedal stop bolt, vibrated loose and blocked the rear brake. ( Now Solid with LocTite )
Hey strangely enough, that was right here in Torrey !
The local mechanic " Biggie" is from Iceland, and he restores both Guzzi's & BMW's.

http://www.freewebs.com/motoguzzimomma the 2007 site goes into that in the Bike Burps Section.

We could still meet up, as the homeward leg has not been discussed yet, will keep you updated.
All depends on the Camera, once she gets that thing stuck to her face, she sort of disappears up her own aperture. :lol:
Best wishes to all.
Take Care Out There
