Just me. Guzzi riding old bloke, a bit bewildered Conflicted with depression & social anxiety, trying to be a better man. I'll persist. Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Bloody hell but I'm fed up.

It has quite the legacy to live up to with the old 3-1/2.
Highest BMEP of any bike including the XS1100.
Handled superbly too.
And it was Italian, not chinese.
The particular that you cut your bread, rather than purchasing pre-sliced, elevates your acuity in this statement significantly.

The bike video that started the YouTube shenanigans.
Fuji 5400 with the neckstrap as short as it would go and resting on my upper chest.
With the best of my friends, on our Guzzis, sadly no longer.
We ride different roads now.
Bloody fine memories however.

A TDM900 Yamaha in front of the Loch of the Lowest, green hills behind and a bright sky above.
A fine view there Tim, and a good idea! Roads are damp and salty today here, so...

However, it Does. Not. Know. It's. Place.
Neither do I.
So, buggrit, let's go ADV on road bikes.
Look, I'm not demeaning your efforts on a Triumph, I'm agreeing they'll do what you intend with enough commitment.
My apologies if you're angered.
I'm immortal...

For me? Bring it on. I'll be myself. The better part of myself.
A little??? π

Aye, off-roading on nominal road tyres and a heavy bike is a bit of an effort!

Thanks for 'taking me with you', as, due to crashing my motorcycle into a wall 4 weeks ago, my chances of getting into the hills (safely) for a good while longer are unlikely.

That's why we should be kind to those who need it.
