The Tonti seems like only yesterday! Fu*k I'm old! Josh's Tonti was my favorite bike there ..and might I say " He rides the PISS" out of it..Makes he want one now..Although I wouldn't look as cool as he does on it!! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I met was friendly ..I'm glad I went..It will always be a memorable occasion for me and my " bucket". ( lots of good riding and roads in that neck of the woods too, (Tenn and KY) ) The Guzzi ran awesome..It was almost 7000 miles by the time I got home and it never missed a lick, not even one small problem and there are plenty of big wide open spaces between here and there that a fella wouldn't want to break down in... It didn't use enough oil to be able to see on the stick.. A larger fuel tank would have been a PLUS..but hey...no complaints!! You made it back in <4 days!?!?! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiomick Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 2 hours ago, Bill Hagan said: You made it back in <4 days!?!?! @KINDOY2 As far as I can tell, that must have been around 1,000 km a day for three days. I'm impressed. And that, apparently, on a Griso. Not necessarily known as a great touring bike, not like a GTR 1000 Kawasaki, for instance. That shows a certain amount of dedication. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 This kind of effort to make a South'n SpineRaid is unprecedented. What an amazing cat, @KINDOY2, and an impressive ride/bike! (Home after some 7000 miles. Success!) 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some touring and sight seeing on the way out but I had a couple 1000 mile plus days ( quite a bit different than KM..) on the way back .. I am always like an old Horse who smells the Barn once I get going home.. . 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINDOY2 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I feel I would be Remiss if I did not give credit to Pete Roper and all the knowledge and advise he has given me on the maintenance and preparation of my Griso ...Very appreciative . The proof is in the results... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
