" Road my share of early 60's & 70's Trumpet & Beezers then got hooked on Guzzis."
Me too.....though I also made a detour by way of HD's for a few years including sportsters and twin cams before needing to have a bike that's reliable and useable.....hence I bought a new TBA a year back....since put 9k miles on it with absolutely no problems at all and confident I could take it anywhere any time.
Longest single days run was a couple of months back when I put 750 miles on it in a day at high speeds (85-95)on motorways with camping gear on the back.
Only problem was my right heel went numb-because I had it jammed against the footrest mostly (one leg is slightly longer than the other following surgery and anyhow I'm 6ft 4in tall.)
Dont miss my Harleys but do miss the guzzis -dont like the new ones either- so I'm saving my pennies to maybe add a Californai Vintage to the fleet this time next year- though the Triumph definitely stays as my No1 bike-even if I wanted to sell it my wife wouldnt let me-its the most comfortable pillion she's ridden she tells me.
