beezer Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hi,New to this group. Love Southern Ohio roads and done most of them. Been all up through the Northeast mountains last summer and the Southeast Mountains this summer. Current ride is a Moto Guzzi Stelvio. Shaft drive=clean bike, dry clutch=clean oil, Air cooled - Water and oil don't mix. Plenty fast, lots of room, 40-45 MPG, what's not to like?

jagr Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Don't believe I've ever seen a Stelvio. Nice setup! Welcome to Ohio Riders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_silverfox Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Always wanted to try a Stelvio! Still a fan of the Griso after riding one in Las Vegas...perhaps an 8V in my collection someday? Dare to be different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I love the bike. Never heard of those before. I have to say, that just might make it to my short list of must own bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beezer Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 One of the reasons I got a Guzzi is you just don't see too many. They make about 8000 bikes a year. Maybe 1000? come to the US? I posted some additional pics of my particular one. Rosso Moto Guzzi Stelvio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beezer Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I really enjoyed the trip up there. We traveled through the Poconos, Catskills, Adirondacks, Alleghany Highlands, Taconite, White and Green Mountains. The roads most like Ohio were around the Finger Lakes and Hudon Valley. Loved those. Went as far east as Boston. The "adventure" you don't want to miss is the Mount Washington Road in New Hampshire. 6000+ feet to the place that claims to have the highest recorded wind speed on earth. I have attached a couple of pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beezer Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 a friend had a Guzzy years ago , run the crap out of it for a long time.Yep, they have a reputation for running forever and the more you beat on them the more they like it. I credit the dry clutch in part for keeping grit out of the engine oil. 1st one I had didn't even break in until 12,000 miles and I put 50,000 on it with nothing but routine maintenance. Still runs like a top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
