    Wow - it's like old home week in here.

    Hey Pax - you still riding? I am even more moto fickle than I thought I was and just traded the monster (that I had traded the bonnie for) for a 2006 multistrada. The monster was way too cramped for the trip we did to Seattle, so I have been keeping my eye open for an old multi. So far I love it. So comfy.

    I have always loved the look of that Moto Guzzi! It is beautiful. Our local Guzzi/BMW dealer went out of business. The only moto store left in the county is our Ducati/Triumph dealer. Fortunately they are a fantastic shop and we love them.

    The Multistrada is absolutely hideous, but cool hideous in my opinion. And I really do like the look of the old multi rather than the new one. And it's funny but I feel more confident riding it than the monster - I find that odd because it is bigger and a little heavier, etc. But the riding position is more comfortable and it corners so well.

    I really miss having a scooter. You felt like you could run it down to the grocery store and you didn't have to get all leathered up.

    Anyway here's the Multi:

    Agree 100%. We run all over the place on the scooters, the motorcycles are for gearing up and going for a RIDE.
