Just came across this one.
Love it.
Not just because it's a babe on a Guzzi.
There's just something about it that embodies for me, what biking is all about.
Pure, and simple, which is something in this high tech age we seem to have lost sight of.
Would be interested to see any photos that for you embody biking perfectly.

Agreed.
Not only that. At speeds which are going to keep you in possession of your license, the technology is simply not necessary.
Advances in braking power excepted. (Now I've said that you'll tell me that other advances go hand in hand with it.)
Doh!
No.
What I love about BMW twins, is they combine high tech and old, all in one.
Yes you have the gubbins like abs, etc. but you also have one of the most basic engines still on the market.
That's why I like it.

That guzzi looks great. I find Davida helmets quite uncomfortable. I'd like to wager that the model has never ridden a bike in her life, nor does she intend to.

Sure is a honey. Not saying whether I refer to Bike or Young Lady.
I fancied an open face helmet again until I got punted off a couple on months ago. Looking at the damage to the helmet I would have lost most of the skin off of my bottom jaw and probably woud have been broken as well - I got a split lip and a used helemt (along with the cut leg and fractured spine). But the point is I no longer fancy an Open face helemt.
There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity
I take it you've seen the blitz motorcycles videos. Very well produced. Ok, it's all very image orientated, but they try to put across the simple fun and freedom aspect.
Oh and they love old boxers.
If you've not seen em, go to blitz motorcycles and click on lifestyle.
I love that photo, the Guzzi has just the right amount of patina, the young lady, well she just sets it off and I couldn't give a jot if she's never ben on a bike before...but i,ll dream that she is as bikesnbones quoted and i,ll read no more of this thread....I lied.....Great idea on the Blitz Motorcycles lifestyle videos right up my street ...cheers Corvus
