I can dig it! definitely looks like a fun bike to ride as well ... glad you got to experience riding in California! Love palm springs/desert it's super chill and the home of desert rock ...
I just bought a V7 Carbon 2018 for my wife, it is an INCREDIBLE bike, super nimble, looks retro with all the modern tech... Moto Guzzi is reliable and price is amazing, I’m using it as a daily bike to go to my office. This is one of those bikes you want to keep forever. She really loves her Guzzi 🏍
I still do 6000 km a year with my V7 700.... from 1967. Every ride, still is a sensation - though another kind than the one that I've seen in this video. I 'm on the road with an old, dressed to kill - charming warhorse... it has become a beautiful juvenile prairie pony. Moto Guzzi has always gone for the riders’ comfort and as a lady, you've demonstrated exactly that. Next time you step on a plane..... go to Italy, go to Mandello del Lario and breath the air of tradition and the passion for motorcycling. Greetings from the old continent. Regards from Belgium.
Riding my 3rd Guzzi (since 1982). As a former m/c dealer I've ridden most brands, including most European, and all American and Japanese brands. Love my Moro Guzzi!
Two years ago we had a 2014 V7 Stone roll into our shop slated for tear-down for parts. As I looked at it, it looked back at me. Hmmm. I checked it over pretty thoroughly and decided I might benefit from a therapy test ride, by the time I came back I parked it off to the side to weigh the options. It's been our official shop bike ever since, I'll tear it down when it's dead! Such a great performer for under 50 HP, it may not be a speed demon but that doesn't interest me as much as the upright seating, easy handling and peppy performance. The torque of that V-Twin is a unique experience. Definitely a machine that gives you feedback and very easy and fun to ride. Very aesthetically appealing and turns heads wherever we take it, the comments we have heard from observers are typically how cool it looks. Get rid of something or get a bigger garage. The ride you pick most often will help with that decision.
Wow! Watching and typing this at the same time, How Cool , Shout out to Moto Guzzi for what looked like a wonderful time. What a beautiful bike , those have always been so classic looking and seem to fit so many people. I loved cruising to Palm Springs in the mid 80's on my then new KZ1100 when i was stationed at San Bernadino , thanks for sharing this with us , Great video, thanks so much!
Can we talk about the fact that toward the end of winter you were saying you were losing motivation and confidence in your videos and now this girls out here LIKE A Q U E E N Like bravo Jess! Keep up the awesome work ! It speaks for itself!
Wheels, My neighbor has two Guzzis. He is a former Moto GP rider at the "semi-pro" level. And I need to say a super guy. I have admired his big Guzzi for years. Now you went and got my juices flowing for one again.
I had a moto guzzi v7 for 4 years. I put 30,000 miles on it and it never let me down. Easy maintenance, unique, and dependable. I will definitely have one again in the future!!
"I can't believe this is my life right now." Jess, you are likely too young to remember Jane Pauley. When I was your age, she was a local news reporter on an Indianapolis TV station.. and within a couple years was hosting the Today show and other NBC big time programs. She said of her fame, in classic, understated Hoosier wisdom, referring to her Nielson ratings.. "When the numbers are good, they won't last. When the numbers are bad, you won't last." Ultimately she semi-retired after having twins, but her honest view toward celebrity and fame is a good life lesson to all of us in the realities of life. But enjoy what you're doing now!
I have exactly the same model as the grey v7 special that you rode. Like you, I find it incredibly comfortable, though I agree that bigger riders will possibly. it agree. It is also amazingly practical: 250 mile tank range, shaft drive, ABS and traction control, great low down torque, plenty of power for the real world, corners like a dream and easy to manhandle. It looks beautifully elegant in a curvaceously understated way, in world of bug-eyed headlights and excess. But most of all it always puts a smile on my face when I ride it, especially on back roads. Good to see Guzzi waking up to the world of UA-cam.
Look like you had a hell of a time them moments are priceless. My brother and his wife are leaving the 13 the of april from here southern KY to death valley california. Every year there's several of them ride about 4000, to 6000, Miles trip he has a harley davidson and a goldwing , the wing for them the hog is his. He rides it all the time , hurts her back, God speed
I came across a V7iii Racer in a local bike shop a couple of years ago. It was motolust at first sight! This run-in began a year and a half obsession with anything Guzzi. I bought a 2018 V7iii Carbon Dark, and don't regret it! It may not be the best bike at any one thing, but it is solid in all aspects. The perfect motorcycle to commute with, weekend local trips, and with an improved seat, longer runs.
I had a close friend back in the mid-eighties who owned a Moto Guzzi and even put a sidecar on from time to time. Had a blast taking trips with him. We Italians are big into performance and handling whether it be cars or bikes. Unfortunately this 6'6" Italian will never fit that bike, but I am glad that you norms can appreciate Italian refinement. Nice ride and video, Jess!
Hey Jess, thanks for bring attention to the brand. I've had a '18 V7iii Carbon Dark and a '20 V7iii Stone S. They are such a great bike. It's like a Bonneville and a Harley had a child.
I love this stretch of the 74, a month ago there was snow up there where you were. I rode out there a lot. Glad you got to experience our awesome roads!
@@HerTwoWheels Wait! You suffer from vertigo symptoms as well? Then, why are you using that weirdness (360*) camera angle? It’s making me woozy. lol 🥴🤢
Carpe diem deluxe First Florida. than riding the Indian Chief in the desert and now on a Moto Guzzi in California . You must be living on a cloud. It's great to see you enjoy riding in the mountains so much. For me nothing beats riding in the Swiss alps. Mr. " His Two/Four Wheels " must love you very much . Eating dinner alone and sleeping n that big empty bed. He is a gem Toedels Joop
Hi there, been driving motorcycle for more than 40 years. My first love concerning motorbikes was a Suzuki 380GT. But this dream blew up, since I first heard (and drove) a Moto Guzzi 750 S3 that a motorbike friend of mine gave to me for a test. Since then i had several Moto Guzzis, 850 Le Mans, V850 GT (1973 Model, a bit like the Guzzi California in the movie Harold and Maude), V65 NTX, California 1100 with Sidecar. (plus there are two yamahas and one very special Vespa 200E Scooter) ok, my garages are spacy. Still driving them a lot. Keep beeing happy and stay save! Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for the lovely review. Love my 850... She's a "young" 78'er T3, though... not this fine new model, and needs some TLC. Soon to get completely rewired and fitted with a digital/electronic ignition- and charging-system. Can't wait to get on the road again. Under 10 grand new sounds really great, but it will be a lot more expensive where i live. So, I'll have to stick to my older model... But, it is a fantastic and underappreciated machine (Moto Guzzi). Cheers...
I think Jess needs to try an older model like your T3 or my '77 Convert to see how good Guzzi's have always been? I think she will really wonder why she waited so long to try a Guzzi?
Hi Jess, I've always been a big Guzzi (Goot-zee, a bit like Peet-zah) fan and I'm glad you had the chance to try one out. I was disappointed you review didn't mention more details, like cross-frame vee twin, easy access to heads/valves for servicing, pushrod operated valves, shaft drive, etc. Still, can't have it all my own way. I'll have one please. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. :)
Beautiful video! I'm very Happy to know your passion for Moto Guzzi, I'm always had this bikes in my life. Actually I have two bikes: 1952 Falcone sport and 2002 V11 Le Mans in perfect conditions. See you soon, greetings from Italy! Ciao!!! Paolo.
Great video. Crossed the US on a V7 Sport 1975 in 1999. 6000 Miles in four weeks. Wonderful bike. 20 years older I bought myself a California II 1985 a couple of weeks ago. Cheers from Sweden.
Wow, the Guzzi looks super sweet with you riding it, Jess ❤️🌹❤️ Thanks for the pillion seat, again. I love the work Larry Chen did of you - Spectacular!!! You must be doing a LOT of things right with all these invites for test riding weekends (keep up the awesome work!). Stay safe, stay well, keep the shiny side up, n' I'll see you in the next video. Cheers!
We have some amazing rides here in southern California. Sometimes you have to drive through 50 miles of concrete jungle to get to them but the reward is so worth it.
Love seeing your video notifications. Love how your shooting and editing has evolved so much in such a short time! I can't wait to start traveling a bit and putting more effort into my own teeny tiny new channel. Thanks for inspiring us to get out there, have fun, and try the stuffs!
@@HerTwoWheels Okay - How in the world did you do that "orbiting scan" bit? It is wonderful (along with the rest of the video). I purchased a V7 Special a month ago and ran across your video. Overall, the video is definitely a treat (but I like my Blu Formale better). But you somehow got the camera to do a "horseshoe scan" from around five feet distant from you while you were riding the bike. That is, the camera started its movement at about 270 degrees (in front of your left shoulder), and then moved counter-clockwise around the bike over to your right shoulder. And then it moved back to dead astern of the bike. I could detect no shadow from a boom (like there might have been a trailing car), and I doubt a drone could be flown that steadily. I've sent your video link to several people and they are as flummoxed as I am. How does one do that? Thanks for any help answering it. And thanks again for the excellent video.
Currently own a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 cc that I have had for 20 years. Once took me 120 miles on one cylinder at highway speed when one spark plug wire crapped out on a Sunday morning with no shops open. At almost 70 years old it has gotten too heavy to maneuver in and out of situations. Purchased a 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone at more than 100 pounds less wet weight. Absolutely love it. Will stay with Moto Guzzi for the rest of my riding life. I have owned BMW, Laverda, Ducati, Moto Morini, Triumph, BSA, Zundapp, Indian, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Cagiva and loved them all for different reasons, but the fact that I can physically handle the weight of a bike that will cruise (illegally) at 85-90 mph for as long as I need, looks good, is reliable and affordable and unique, why shop anywhere else?- -Mike Battle
Awesome to see you ride a Guzzi for the first time and enjoy it! I know that feeling. And as much as I love being "unique" in the sense of there's very few of us out there, I really do hope the new upgrades draw more riders to Moto Guzzi brand. My 2019 V7 Blue Night Pack is my first bike ever and has been a blast! Definitely a bike I don't ever want to get ride of. But these new power specs do have me wanting to upgrade 🤔 Lol
Your in socal! Nice! In the same state i live in and palm springs isnt too far away from me, about 90 miles east of me. Ive done that road.. palm to the pines and through idyllwild. So beautiful.. glad you got to experience this with these awesome looking bikes!
Those were some awesome shots. As a fellow photography enthusiast, they were so well done! Kudos to you for being able to attend such amazing opportunities!
I have never ridden a Motoguzzi but I have heard very good things . I really like the way they look. And prices seem quite reasonable The only sticking point is there arent any dealers in my area.
Yo Jess, I knew you were gonna love this Motorsickle. I have always enjoyed looking at a Moto Guzzi. They are a Kool to the eye Motorsickle. There is always Room in the garage for one more Motorsickle. Keep the Shiny Side Up.
Moto Guzzi are like those things that you really want everyone to know and buy because they are so great, but you also don’t want anyone to know about because you love to have the rare bike all to yourself and enjoy without seeing 20+ on the road each time you go out
Those Moto Guzzis are great. I got a V9 Roamer after chewing on the idea for a year. The look is irresistible. I could go on... I like what they are doing with the bigger engines in the V7, it seems like a really awesome power plant. What fun you must have had, thanks for sharing.
Welcome to SoCal... you rode some of the best in the area. From Palm Desert you went up Hwy 74, including Seven Level Hill, look at the map to see why that name. At Mountain Center you got on Hwy 243 to Idyllwild then down those beautiful twisties to I-10 and the wind. There's a reason you see all of those wind mills in that pass. You finished up on Hwy 111 back to Palm Springs. That was a fine selection of mountain riding. Glad you had fun.
Great vid, thanks for the that. I put a deposit down on one at the beginning of january. Should have it in about 2 weeks, according to my dealership here in Denver CO. Loved seeing Larry in the video, been following him for some time. Thanks again for a great vid.
Nice video of that motorcycle. It helps sell when others not heard or seen them and you and others test them for UA-cam channel. That's so cool. It's a nice bike and price is good too, especially for that size new.
I've lusted after a V7 for years and it's getting even harder to resist since they dropped the 850 into it! But I really want a Indian chief dark horse too! Great vid once again 👍
Sorry I missed this when it was released, Jess, I've just recently discovered your channel. Glad you liked the Moto Guzzi.... (btw, I'm 6'3"/ 215# & found the V7 Racer I test rode very comfortable) Now, to get the REAL Guzzi experience - come out to a Guzzi Owners' Club rally sometime. Matter of fact, one of the nicest ones is right outside of Zanesville every Labor Day weekend. I think you'd LOVE it! The community is what makes Guzzis great!
I'm Jealous Jess going to beautiful locations and test riding new Bikes you are definitely living your best life. Good for you I'm happy for you. Great video as usual.
Highway 74 a nice ride! I live about an hour south in Temecula. I am a BMW guy and a lot of BMW folks also like the Guzzi's. Glad you had a good ride in SoCal!
Greetings from Oregon sis I've ridden that road a couple times, you continue to produce high quality content for us everyday riders this is why your invitations keep coming the motorcycle industry is realizing the importance of advertising using everyday riders not celebrities one day harley will figure it out guzzis are freaking awesome
That is one nice looking bike. Though I'm getting a bit old to be riding without a windshield on a cruiser! Thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations on being so well rewarded for all your hard work.
Now that I’ve been riding for a few years now, I’m excited to test out other bikes. At first I only wanted to ride mine but now I want to ride them alllll! This bike looks fun! 💕
This video brought back many wonderful memories for me. I lived in the Palm Springs area, Cathedral City and Palm Desert for 11 years, 85-96. My favorite road was the one your group rode up to Idyllwild, Hwy 74. Great place to escape the torrid heat of the summer, and the local tribe the Agua Caliente use to go up the San Jacinto mtns for the summer. After all this is the hottest place in the States. I had a Honda CB 700 SC red and black in those days. Nice shots of the wind turbines ( they have taller ones now I see ) on what I think is Hwy 111, aka Palm Canyon Dr. I considered at Guzzi 1400 California about this time last year. The lack of dealerships ( only one in Ohio I believe is on the north side of Cincinnati ) kind of put me off, but I could be happy with the 1400. Happy for you Jess these motorcycle companies have appreciated the value and warmth you bring to these reviews.
Beautiful video. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and it really is a great looking bike. The 360 camera was a great investment, you got some really interesting footage with it. Also, nice rundown on the Motorcycle Video specs.
That looked like soooo much fun!!! Wish I could have met you there!!! It’s only an hour from me on the 10 freeway!! Anyway, looks like a great bike as far as looks and handling!! Thanks for taking us along!!!
Ah Jess, you've did it again. I have ridden those very roads. Talk about memories I'm enjoying riding with you and listening to all you say and do. Your genuine sincerity is so refreshing to hear. Keep up that attitude cause is reflects in your writing. As to the Moto-guzzi now that's a bike that you have just created an interest in. Being 5' and it's lightweight gets me thinking. 850cc is right on for this Northern Cal roads. Sounds like a bike that I want to go ride. I'll find a dealer and see what happens. Have an enjoyable ride back.
Back in the 80's, these bikes were big bulky heavy machines, as I found out when one fell over and split three of my toes! Love the look of this new fleet though. Great video.
Guzzis have a cracking look about them, saying that I have always loved the look of the classic 70s/80s naked bikes. Great vid, looks like you had fun. It was nice to have a bit of an interview in there too. Q) Have you thought about completing and filming an advanced riders course? This skills you learn make the twisties even more fun. Keep on keeping on Jess.
What do you think of Moto Guzzi's re-vamped V7? I genuinely fell in love with this bike! effortlessly beautiful and functional!
That bike looks aesthetically hideous, however, you seemed super comfortable. You like it, I love it!
It's gorgeous!
@@wax_1911 WHAT?! Did you have your eyes open when you acquired that opinion?? 🤣🤣 hey man. You like what you like I suppose! Lol!
I can dig it! definitely looks like a fun bike to ride as well ... glad you got to experience riding in California! Love palm springs/desert it's super chill and the home of desert rock ...
I've never ridden one either, but I have always loved the styling and the longitudinal engine.
I just bought a V7 Carbon 2018 for my wife, it is an INCREDIBLE bike, super nimble, looks retro with all the modern tech... Moto Guzzi is reliable and price is amazing, I’m using it as a daily bike to go to my office. This is one of those bikes you want to keep forever. She really loves her Guzzi 🏍
Couldn't agree more!
“I’m using it as my daily bike”, bought it for who?
@@jimporter haha 😊
I’ve had a V7 special since 2016 and I haven’t found more joy in 2 wheels since. I smile all the way to work everyday

Feels like a motorcycle renaissance coming on so many manufacturers coming out with excellent new bikes
It makes me happy to see you also drive a manual sports car, kudos to you for that! Keep the stick shift alive!
If the manufacturers have their way, the standard transmission will soon be a thing of the past.😢😢😢

That’s where my little brother died on his motorcycle. Seeing your video, I now understand why he loved riding there. I’ve never ridden a MG.

Currently own a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 cc that I have had for 20 years. Once took me 120 miles on one cylinder at highway speed when one spark plug wire crapped out on a Sunday morning with no shops open. At almost 70 years old it has gotten too heavy to maneuver in and out of situations. Purchased a 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone at more than 100 pounds less wet weight. Absolutely love it. Will stay with Moto Guzzi for the rest of my riding life. I have owned BMW, Laverda, Ducati, Moto Morini, Triumph, BSA, Zundapp, Indian, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Cagiva and loved them all for different reasons, but the fact that I can physically handle the weight of a bike that will cruise (illegally) at 85-90 mph for as long as I need, looks good, is reliable and affordable and unique, why shop anywhere else?- -Mike Battle
The videography and photos are great but I wish you had discussed more of the bike while you were riding it.
That bike is a work of art I love bikes that have out of the normal engine placements
Awesome to see you ride a Guzzi for the first time and enjoy it! I know that feeling. And as much as I love being "unique" in the sense of there's very few of us out there, I really do hope the new upgrades draw more riders to Moto Guzzi brand. My 2019 V7 Blue Night Pack is my first bike ever and has been a blast! Definitely a bike I don't ever want to get ride of. But these new power specs do have me wanting to upgrade 🤔 Lol
Your in socal! Nice! In the same state i live in and palm springs isnt too far away from me, about 90 miles east of me. Ive done that road.. palm to the pines and through idyllwild. So beautiful.. glad you got to experience this with these awesome looking bikes!
Shoutout to Larry Chen on the photos, smashing it as always
Very cool 😎 again thank you for taking us along that was awsome 😊
Those were some awesome shots. As a fellow photography enthusiast, they were so well done! Kudos to you for being able to attend such amazing opportunities!
I have never ridden a Motoguzzi but I have heard very good things . I really like the way they look. And prices seem quite reasonable
The only sticking point is there arent any dealers in my area.
Nice to see out in SoCal! Riding the roads in my backyard! Hope you enjoyed the trip! Take care!
WOW how Perfect was that..... those roads and that Guzzi... lucky you !!! 😊👍👏😎
Wow what beautiful bikes and a wonderful place to ride. I rode in that area back in 2006 - gorgeous scenery as is most of California!
Yo Jess, I knew you were gonna love this Motorsickle. I have always enjoyed looking at a Moto Guzzi. They are a Kool to the eye Motorsickle. There is always Room in the garage for one more Motorsickle. Keep the Shiny Side Up.
Moto Guzzi are like those things that you really want everyone to know and buy because they are so great, but you also don’t want anyone to know about because you love to have the rare bike all to yourself and enjoy without seeing 20+ on the road each time you go out
Those Moto Guzzis are great. I got a V9 Roamer after chewing on the idea for a year. The look is irresistible. I could go on... I like what they are doing with the bigger engines in the V7, it seems like a really awesome power plant. What fun you must have had, thanks for sharing.
Welcome to SoCal... you rode some of the best in the area. From Palm Desert you went up Hwy 74, including Seven Level Hill, look at the map to see why that name. At Mountain Center you got on Hwy 243 to Idyllwild then down those beautiful twisties to I-10 and the wind. There's a reason you see all of those wind mills in that pass. You finished up on Hwy 111 back to Palm Springs. That was a fine selection of mountain riding. Glad you had fun.
Great vid, thanks for the that. I put a deposit down on one at the beginning of january. Should have it in about 2 weeks, according to my dealership here in Denver CO. Loved seeing Larry in the video, been following him for some time. Thanks again for a great vid.
You won't need a bigger garage girl...you'll need a warehouse for all these amazing new bikes you find along the way. Gotta love a flickable bike! 😃👍
If you know someone who can help me build it.... YES! hahaha!
Yes the Special would be my choice. Love spokes. I didn't know there was a color choice 😎
Looks like this is my new favorite motorcycle now.... Very nice and classic design
I really love your content. Unlike many women who feel the need to tramp it up, you just present it.
Jesd you really make the guzzi look great. Thanks for taking us along on these rides.
Did my cbt today after year's away from bike's, no better feeling than riding!
That’s sick that Moto Guzzi got Larry Chen to shoot for them. 100% my favorite photographer running.
He’s amazing! I was a bit starstruck 😅
Nice video of that motorcycle. It helps sell when others not heard or seen them and you and others test them for UA-cam channel. That's so cool. It's a nice bike and price is good too, especially for that size new.
nice video, well done Jess , love that you tried a Guzzi , as myself own a Guzzi California Vintage such a lovely bike
Excellent video.I enjoyed that a lot. Thanks for taking the time.
I've lusted after a V7 for years and it's getting even harder to resist since they dropped the 850 into it! But I really want a Indian chief dark horse too! Great vid once again 👍
Great video again, love these events you go too 🤟
Brilliant! Thanks for taking us along for the fun 🏍
Sorry I missed this when it was released, Jess, I've just recently discovered your channel. Glad you liked the Moto Guzzi.... (btw, I'm 6'3"/ 215# & found the V7 Racer I test rode very comfortable) Now, to get the REAL Guzzi experience - come out to a Guzzi Owners' Club rally sometime. Matter of fact, one of the nicest ones is right outside of Zanesville every Labor Day weekend. I think you'd LOVE it! The community is what makes Guzzis great!
I absolutely love my 2017 V9 bobber, only had it for 8 months(brand new hold over)
I'm Jealous Jess going to beautiful locations and test riding new Bikes you are definitely living your best life. Good for you I'm happy for you. Great video as usual.
Highway 74 a nice ride! I live about an hour south in Temecula. I am a BMW guy and a lot of BMW folks also like the Guzzi's. Glad you had a good ride in SoCal!
Sweet ! Come and visit Tucson Arizona .....Ride Mt.Lemmon , Sonoita Vineyards ,Tombstone , and Bisbee ! Arizona Pistachios ! And more !
Great video, i have just recently bought a 2022 model and it is fantastic, Love Moto Guzzi
Look at you, see dreams do come true. Great review and so happy for you getting all these new experiences! Keep the content coming.
Greetings from Oregon sis I've ridden that road a couple times, you continue to produce high quality content for us everyday riders this is why your invitations keep coming the motorcycle industry is realizing the importance of advertising using everyday riders not celebrities one day harley will figure it out guzzis are freaking awesome
I really like the retro look of that bike. It looks like bike used to look in the 70's and early 80's, before all the plastic.
That is one nice looking bike. Though I'm getting a bit old to be riding without a windshield on a cruiser! Thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations on being so well rewarded for all your hard work.
Like your style, first things first, hit the bar! Moto Guzzle! 😂👍🏽
Now that I’ve been riding for a few years now, I’m excited to test out other bikes. At first I only wanted to ride mine but now I want to ride them alllll! This bike looks fun! 💕
This video brought back many wonderful memories for me. I lived in the Palm Springs area, Cathedral City and Palm Desert for 11 years, 85-96. My favorite road was the one your group rode up to Idyllwild, Hwy 74. Great place to escape the torrid heat of the summer, and the local tribe the Agua Caliente use to go up the San Jacinto mtns for the summer. After all this is the hottest place in the States. I had a Honda CB 700 SC red and black in those days. Nice shots of the wind turbines ( they have taller ones now I see ) on what I think is Hwy 111, aka Palm Canyon Dr. I considered at Guzzi 1400 California about this time last year. The lack of dealerships ( only one in Ohio I believe is on the north side of Cincinnati ) kind of put me off, but I could be happy with the 1400. Happy for you Jess these motorcycle companies have appreciated the value and warmth you bring to these reviews.
Beautiful video. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and it really is a great looking bike. The 360 camera was a great investment, you got some really interesting footage with it. Also, nice rundown on the Motorcycle Video specs.
Man , that 360 footage is wild and trippy
Dude was so looking forward to this bike can't believe u already got ahold of one
That is a gorgeous ride. The photo was really cool too with the bendy road. Lucky you as I’m stuck riding on 270 in Columbus on my MT07 😂
That looked like soooo much fun!!! Wish I could have met you there!!! It’s only an hour from me on the 10 freeway!! Anyway, looks like a great bike as far as looks and handling!! Thanks for taking us along!!!
Thanks for your review Jess! Looks like a great bike!
Great video. Amazing bike and beautiful goddess rider!
@@monster3618 No
You look good on that bike Jess, very powerful posture... thank you!!
Ah Jess, you've did it again. I have ridden those very roads. Talk about memories I'm enjoying riding with you and listening to all you say and do. Your genuine sincerity is so refreshing to hear. Keep up that attitude cause is reflects in your writing. As to the Moto-guzzi now that's a bike that you have just created an interest in. Being 5' and it's lightweight gets me thinking. 850cc is right on for this Northern Cal roads. Sounds like a bike that I want to go ride. I'll find a dealer and see what happens. Have an enjoyable ride back.
O snap chilling with Larry chen.he seems like such a chill dude and what awesome stickers he has.haha
Back in the 80's, these bikes were big bulky heavy machines, as I found out when one fell over and split three of my toes! Love the look of this new fleet though. Great video.
Guzzis have a cracking look about them, saying that I have always loved the look of the classic 70s/80s naked bikes. Great vid, looks like you had fun. It was nice to have a bit of an interview in there too. Q) Have you thought about completing and filming an advanced riders course? This skills you learn make the twisties even more fun. Keep on keeping on Jess.
