Kane 223 Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 After too many weeks of limited in town riding, I took the Green Muse up San Gabriel Canyon / Hwy 39. It’s a lovely November day, and it felt great to hammer up and down a canyon! As usual, she ran flawlessly. But I think I’ve lost some of my handlebar vibe acclimation! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kane 223 Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Another look: Ain’t she sweet? So what will the bright lads and gals at Moto Guzzi / Piaggio do to bring in the 100th anniversary? Will they give us a new bike with this fire, this visceral riding machine? 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck 1,391 Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 This is normally the time I start to think about going out to SoCal for 1000 miles or so of canyon riding. Not this year.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not this year.. Chuck, the weather has been outstanding and the traffic is still lighter than usual. The fires have been rough. Much of the crest / Hwy 2 was shut down for a while.

Chuck 1,391 Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 Normally, when we are out over Xmas, you can't get much higher than Newcomb's. That's why I stay in the SMMs. Certainly, one of my most epic rides was when Guzzi Bob, two other old farts and I lit up the crest from the bottom to the top. Perfect day, and unforgettable... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I downloaded it, put it in Imgzeit and used "direct." I'll try to remember. Thanks, Docc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
