Today my older brother Vic and I took my bikes on a 60-something mile ride to Redondo Beach south of Seattle and had lunch at Salty's Restaurant. We originally wanted to go to E Washington to Winthrop but wimped out, not wanting our 60-something bodies to get worn out by the smaller bikes (the last time we did that we had Harleys). Heh, we are starting to act like the old Taiwanese motorcycle riders in that video passed around recently!
Brother Vic rides a Duc GT1000 which resides in Augusta, Georgia now. So he rather liked the chance to ride a Thumper and a smaller Italian twin. The C5 was comfortable to him and he thought it was the perfect around-town bike. I agree. The Guzzi is happiest above 3k rpm's and needs faster roads to be appreciated.
