Funny thing is we have a Guzzi dealer nearby. 120 miles to closest BMW dealer, although I hear a BMW dealership is coming to town sometime this summer.

The dealer network is only a problem for warranty service and parts, and honestly that's the only thing that gives me pause about the bike.

If you can afford it, I'd recommend keeping the CB while owning the Guzzi. Just in case the grass is not greener on the other side (I've had two Guzzi's).

Yeah, I think (??) that is the same spot of another video posted this year, but later removed from online showing a rider who did not do as well.

That was what it reminded me of, but I’ve no idea whether it was the same spot.

These guys were either brave or truly stupid. For the moment I’m going with brave.

I don't think I could attempt that with more than a thumper beneath me. My body size is bad enough. Undecided
