Ok & hey to all. New to the forum but not to riding as I have over 40 years in the saddle. Road my share of early 60's & 70's Trumpet & Beezers then got hooked on Guzzis. Still have 2 of them & ride regular but like me they are gettin old & wore out: one is 37 & the other 34 and I'm pushin 60.
What I would like to hear about is anybody who has put some serious miles on the Bonnevilles because after 30 years of Guzzis I think I want to try something new.
What's the longest ride you have taken?
What is the most common failed parts?, etc.
I don't care about hiway cruisin as I prefer backroads even when doing the long distance run around. I do like to ride for long periods of time at 75/80 mph(I've got a 300 mile bladder that drives other riders nuts). The Guzzi's have 6 gal tanks and go about 300 miles on a tank, I've gone out on a Sunday and had to fill up and been mostly empty when I got back to the house. Anybody else ride like that?
I would really appreciate any feedback as I am ready to buy new and honestly the new Guzzis just don't do it for me. I considered the Harley Nightster but I really like to lean without wobbling so it's a new Bonny or fix the old Guzzis again.
How about some feedback?
Thanks, Trout
