Just bought a griso. And living in a predominantly flat part of Canada, this brings me joy. Bar the camper vans of course.

Great Road!

Nice riding there mate! I'm feeling to bet that the front of the motorcycle is really the thing that gives you the feeling to chase after because I see you dropping gears for the grunt, even though this motorcycle can actually tolerate and perform on high gears with low speed . I had the opportunity to get a griso but found an Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 for cheaper and with ABS and traction control, so I opted for that instead. However I feel in my later years I'd go looking for the griso regardless.....

I have a Ventura Pack Rack on mine. I have the same tank bag, the exactly same bike. I have done 42000km on it since new. Has been working great. I do have the little guzzi fairing on mine. :-)

THat's a very nice series of joined up bends! Bit of UK road surface here and there though, eh? I'd have been riding it very differently on my T3 Cali (a very different bike), with a lot fewer gear changes and "Days Like These" playing on the headset ((o; Tech ask: you have a lav mic from the Zoom recorder picking up exhaust noise?

A couple of bum clenching moments there. Or is it me getting old? Btw how is the griso now after all the work you had done? Looks like you have total confidence in it and are enjoying it.

you are riding in 1 gear too low all the time
