I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that the difference is related to their performance in Moto GP. Alex hasn't really done anything yet...will he in the future, who knows. I'm a little surprised they didn't get a nice Porsche 911 Turbo S...as much as I think the Audi's are absolutely bad ass Avant/Break/Stationwagon...there's nothing like ripping around in the 911. At last year's Porsche festival in The Woodlands, there was a color shifting RS6 Avant wagon...truly stunning. Only problem is I haven't seen if you can get them in a stick shift, everything is automatic/PDK these days...how boring!

Ahem...do you always take the short route home on the motorbike or sometimes the leisurely, meandering longer route? Which one is more enjoyable?

Exactly as John says above...a few minutes of relief every now and then to stretch the arms, hands, wrists w/o giving up the maintenance of speed is nice. None of my Guzzi's have it, but the Goldwing does and I'm using it from time to time on some of the longer straights. I also use a wide Crampbuster on all of my bikes, so there's virtually no tension in the wrist even on all day rides, but I must say that having the Cruise control option is nice, even if I use it not very frequently. Perhaps for the long stretches of I-10 it would be nice to set it and leave it for a few hours as there is virtually no interference required for those wide open spaces. An easy and intuitive cruise control...one button activate, one button set and one button toggle up or down on speed makes it very "user friendly". You can move your right hand around to other parts of the bike, rest it on the handlebar, brake fluid reservoir, on your knee, or stretch back a bit...all of that helps if you have cruise activated...or you can do all that and just slow down a bit and then resume...

Will be good to see you John…with bike or without! All my bikes are running nicely these days! I missed the Musk satellite show the last time… Put out the speakers and let’s hear some of your favorite Dead tunes!! -
For those V11 or other Guzzi afficionados, you're probably already in the know, but for some new folks, Cedar Vale, Kansas rally scheduled at Hewins Park in May. See you guys there!

Ok...I am going to have to steal one of these items...French Toast made with Panettone! What a fantastic idea! Of course, the Lavazza coffee must accompany it! Nice spread for sure...lots of great cooks there it looks like!

Good to hear finally about the tires!!! Pity about the clothing shipment zip code snafu but no rush!!! Now that you have your bike back will we see you in Bandera on Saturday? I’ll be there till about noon then head to Frío Canyon and then possibly a few more southern stops… have to be back home by Sunday evening. I plan on doing the La Grange stop on Monday with my wife…she’s been wanting to go out for a short GTOT stop so it’s either that and/or a Classic Rock stop. -

Tires delivered today! Only took 4 days from my normal source on Amazon! Once I wear out the current set on the Norge will put these on for the upcoming trip to Oregon…expecting to put 5000-6000 miles on that trip in June! -
Yes…the red kill switch.

Wow that's taking forever to get tires! You may want to try Amazon (Chaparall Motorsports is the vendor) I've got an order of Pilot Road 4's GT's (front and back, $430 total price) that are coming in about 12 days...same source I have ordered from in the past. Have done 4 orders from them over the last several years for the Norge, Griso and Scura...all running the same tire. Alternatively you can check for future and faster turnaround with the Motorcycles Unlimited shop (ask for Suzanne the owner) on FM1960...they can order the tire or you can ride the bike in with your tires, or even take the wheels in and they'll change them within 24 hours. -

Hi P6X...I do plan on being there on Saturday morning...probably will be in Boerne the night before and then head over in the morning. I plan to pick up a few more stops along the way Saturday/Sunday before heading home. I'm likely to be on the Honda Goldwing (Grey), or perhaps the Red Griso...will be a last minute decision!
