Took my 2009 V7 from north staffs up to the lakes with a few friends.

Did the Kirkstone,Wrynose and Hardknott passes and then home via coast roads and a bit of the M6.

Total mileage was 294. No aching joints or muscles and no numb bum syndrome.Plus 67 mpg.

Roll on more days out.

PS i did the same journey a couple of years ago on my old 2007 FJR..lots of aches when i got home plus 46mpg..no comparison really.

I will be getting a new a new 750 stone when i sell my nevada. These guzzi's are great on fuel and they put a smile on your face for some reason. I can't ride mine enough between bouts of working long shifts as a Nurse. I've done 1600 miles in less than a month out of pure enjoyment! I'm surprised they are not more popular!!!!

Ahh weeelll tis a secret only known to a few .... that is why many Guzzisti have more than one bike ....as the old saying goes "If I have to explain ..... you would not understand!"
