A Moto Guzzi owner and rider, Daniel Kalal, writes up these epic ride reports complete with photo's. He seems to be especially fond of the mid-west (Kansas, Nebrasks etc.) going through your small (or barely existing - some no longer existing) towns, staying and eating there. Simply amazing stuff. His tomes usually have a theme (old railroad route, old stage coach route, cool grain elevators). I think he's been on every dang road, paved or dirt, in the mid-west.
Then every so often he does the same thing in Europe (he keeps a bike and gear in Italy for just those occasions). Just checking on him on Facebook at he's using an EV to travel around the Canary Island. He travels very light, washing his clothes every night. I really miss his reports over on the guzzi forum. Once you've read one of his threads on his rides you won't think Kansas or Nebraska is boring.
About 4-5 years ago I was at the Triumph dealership kicking tires. Talked to a fellow that had bought a Thunderbird and he raved about the handling. He loved that bike. Lucky for me they no longer make it.
