Anybody else ever sell a bike because you became a father and never get out for rides then then regretted it immediately? I miss my KTM 690 enduro

sometimes 350 cc can be just fine

I mothballed my road bike while my daughter was a teen but promptly got it back on the road again once she left for college. Had I sold it, I would have certainly regretted it. Lucky to have the required storage space.

Good call @endo , the slower one rides, the more you see. Perfect while visiting a new place.
Never ridden an RE, should try it sometime and report back.

Just picked this up today. V85 Guzzi. My first new motorcycle, and a very different ride to my '83 V65.

Awesome @jimcasey ! I look forward to your pics and impression of the V85. Beautiful colourway there.
The V85TT and IH combo will look great

I’m due to get mine around May, in the RMcD colors.

I knew there'd be some fellow guzzistas on this forum! Nice one @motojobobo - looking forward to seeing yours when it arrives. And yeah, IH gear great for quick jaunts. If only they'd do some armour compatible leather and kevlar jeans!

Quick rest stop at a reservoir outside of San Juan de Jujuy

Finally in wine country, Cafayate!

Woodworkers around here don’t care much for ruler-straight pieces

[motojobobo]

A very nice hotel in Cafayate which I hope doesn’t detract attention from the fine silhoutte of my bike!!

[motojobobo]

Hotel entrance, Patios de Cafayate. Right in the midst of a winery, El Esteco.

Finally hitting the mountain roads
