Thanks PB. I've always longed for a Guzzi since I first saw a SP1000. If I had more money and room I'd have one but I'm limited to 2 and very happy with the SG and the R nine T.
You ok?
Look out Danny, he's coming for ya 😉
Well decided to have a little look down this track today....ran out of grip after riding thru a muddy section quickly followed by running out of talent when it started to steer like a Woolies shopping trolley...
would luv to get a couple of smaller dirtbikes, as i feel the likes of 1200's too big & heavy for us...maybe DR650 & 250 after coming across youtube vids of Mary Valley Dirtbike Riders blatting round local beautiful & vast Cooloola bushland / beaches & that in all these years, only just realising we'v seen fk all riding blacktop....anyways plenty of those tracks for you to explore...just a little envious!
Aside from my 5 Harleys, I am really into ADV bikes and have spent so far, before being rudely interupted by the chinese virus, several years riding around the world. In the downtime I have been building a Triumph Tiger with all the bells and whistles for our next major trip. In addition I have an RMZ450 that keeps my inner MX child in check and a few get around scooters that I use to go to the gym/shops etc.
I hear you evo, yes the 1200 is a big bugger but if i had a more suited set of tires wouldn't have had a issue at all. This is the compromise with these adventure bikes as i need to get it to some of the more preferred off-road destinations via the tar. No use wearing the knobby tire out on the road to get to the dirt bit with no tire left. They are truely amazing on a firetrail or backroads dirt road even with a road biased tire, just dont get caught in the wet clay conditions because your going to fall off regardless how cautious you are.
Onya Pauli,
the bike looks great (more so upright) & a wonderful backdrop to boot..
