I think Guzzi names that one sport tourer the�Stelvio� for that very reason. Looks like a fun, though tedious ride to the top or the bottom...

I was pretty aggressive when I was riding but I decided I had pressed
my luck too far and bought a dresser down here. In spite of still
having white knuckle danger, it was boring knowing the biggest danger
was getting T boned by an old lady in a coupe deville.

Mamma blue-hair pulled right out in front of my brother on his 750 Honda.. He laid it down and skidded right into her door and had both feet planted on his seat. Good he wasn’t pinned. He said she never looked to the left even once. Of course she was truthful when she said she didn’t see him...

I rode around DC for years and never worried that much about it but
one trip downtown here and I was losing the urge to ride.
The other problem is I am not sure where I would want to ride to here.
We just don't have that many roads and they are all long and straight.

Well, we have some of the nicest trails on the continent but I haven't owned a bike since the early '80s.

Unless you're riding to the beach to ogle girls, there's not much in
the way of good riding roads
down there.

That is more Harry's style but if I am going to the beach, I take my
boat.
We prefer deserted beaches to crowded beaches anyway, even if it is
full of girls.


I certainly wouldn't drive 30 seconds to oogle a bunch of women your
age or mine...

You have your computer in your special place for that, eh?

With pics of girls *far* below his age!

Well, after all, the subject was riding. I'd stay away from any salt water on my motorcycle simply
to prevent corrosion.

I guess you won't be riding down the beach at Daytona in Bike Week.

If I rode to Daytona, I'd stay away from the beach. I wouldn't mind walking down the main drag
looking at the bikes though, and watching some of the races.

The main drag (A1A), pretty much is the beach. You are about 100 yards
from the water, behind a row of shops and such. For the purposes of
avoiding salt air, you might as well drive on the sand.
Just hose your scoot down before you leave and you will be fine. If it
was summer I would say, just ride around in the afternoon and let the
rain do it.

I'm kicking around a ride down to Savannah this summer, along the coast. Probably a couple days just
ambling through the small places. Maybe take a tent, maybe do the motel bit. Not sure yet.

Not challenging, but pretty views. I'm outgrowing the need for 'challenging' rides anyway!
