My present was a 200 mi ride. A very warm New Year's eve. Went with a
bunch of guys on expensive sport tourers. Still pretty damn
cold. Started out on gieger grade--the super twisty road to Virginia
City, and then down the back side--known only as "the truck route"--even
tighter turns. Crisp, but bright sunshine, some major leaning, although
no frame dragging. Pretty well kept up with the fast group.
The Eldo purred thru Virginia City--at least the guy in front of said
that's what it sounded like.
We then did some 80-90 runs thru the desert-beautiful rolling hills of
sage and mountains all around. A great meatball sandwich at a little place
between two small towns in Smith Valley, and a run back into Reno at the
base of the Sierra Nevada.
The Guzzi did well, although I lost horn and turn signals and a couple of
the indictorlite bezels vibrated off. WFO was ng--I think I need smaller
mains.
In spite of minor stuff, a glorious day!
