A few notes

Well I have been battling illness for the last week. It started last Wednesday afternoon as a low fever and over the next couple days became more of a fever with congestion, coughing, headache added to that. Then came the sore throat. Finally now a week later I am feeling a goodly bit better. Mostly it is gone and I am able to resume normal activities.

I have been riding my Guzzi Stelvio to work most every day. I sure do like it. It fits just right and it has more motor than the Breva, which can make for some extra fun on occasion :)

It has been beautiful weather here in Florida as we had our first "cold" front move through and this is expected to last at least a few days. With that comes cooler temps, beautiful clear and sunny skies as well as much lower humidity. All this adds up to more pleasurable times outdoors and perfect riding weather!

With that in mind I sent out an email to my Fiserv motorcycle riding cronies today imploring them to all ride to work tomorrow (Thursday) and park together in a special section of the parking lot. So this will be fun to see how many riders bring the bikes in tomorrow and see the variety of bikes.

Here is a link to the promotional video Moto Guzzi put together for the Stelvio. Yeah, it's a little over the top and melodramatic but enjoyable to watch nonetheless :)

Another video I enjoy is this one which highlights the new "Quattro Valvole" (4 valve) motor which is in my Stelvio as well as the new Griso.

Finally check out this video of the new V7 Cafe Classic, a really cool new 750cc bike the is soon to arrive on our shores. I love this bike!
