Can't picture that lawn chair on the back of the 'Guzzi.

Here it is!



It even survived the accident! The bike, not so much.

The ground sheet isn't something you really need if you have a tent with a floor and an air mattress.

Made the reservations for our plot of land. Guess I need to get my rear in gear, bike needs to be up to the task.

For those that camp, what's on your must have list for iron horse camping?

Ground cloth
tent (a dry one)
sleeping bag
air mattress or cot
pillow
check with the Iron Horse about providing towels

The Magna is awesome. It will be great meeting your bro-in-law.

The XS1100 isn't going to outrun one of these.

There's a rally coming up on Sept 23. Everyone is welcome. If you have old Japanese iron, you are especially welcome!

We will have more details coming soon.

The V45 is 750cc and the V65 is the 1100cc big boy...

+1 on what BA80 said. The one I rode, albeit briefly, seemed like it would be comfy for the long haul, especially with a plexifairing. The foot position was nice for my long legs.

Really like the V4 engine feel. Had an ST 1300 for a year and that's the best engine on a bike I've ever had.

Like previous HondaV65 riders have always said."the ST is just a Sabre with the engine pointed the correct direction".

I worked with a guy in Texas back in the late 80s that had a V45. I don't recall the year but it was the one that had the longest wheelbase. I rode it a lot and it was very smooth, comfortable and powerful.

Hard to work on though.

Unbelieveable Beauty.

For those that are not familiar with this area of the Southeast..... Be prepared for some unreal beauty.

You are in for a real treat!!!
