I actually thought of touring on a Breva few years ago, but back then I didn‘t know anyone with a Moto Guzzi and I bought a Ducati ST3 because one of my friends bought one, loved it and I decided it was a good bike for me also. <BR/><BR/>It’s funny, just a few years ago I used to ride more miles, and lately with the gas so expensive we’re getting really picky about our rides. Passing up many day rides and just doing the overnight rides. Going for quality over quantity. <BR/><BR/>The jobs do stand in the way of riding. My job only gives me two weeks of vacation per year and a few of those days I have to use for the xmas shut down. It seems that the only way to get to ride more days is to do the trips over the holidays, but that is not always the best time to travel since so many others are also traveling. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by and keep on reading. I have some more adventures coming this year.<BR/><BR/>AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360049377814446360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17554196.post-74353008578898433602008-06-28T10:52:00.000-05:002008-06-28T10:52:00.000-05:00Hello.

I did a Google search to find a concrete fox garden statue for my mom, similar to the fox statues on the bridge over the Fox River in St. Charles, and one of the links in search results was this blog with a picture of you by the foxes on the aforementioned bridge. I realized that we have some things in common when I started reading your adventures. My husband and I ride, too (we have his & hers Moto Guzzi Breva 750s, plus he has a Kawasaki ZRX 1200, and a mid-70s Honda CB550 project bike; I also ride a Piaggio Fly 50 for errands around town because it's about 4x better on gas than my truck), but I’m afraid our annual mileage in the saddle is probably about what your monthly average is! Somehow we can never find the time away from work to make trips like yours happen. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment. If I can’t ride as much as you I’ll settle for living vicariously through your adventures.<BR/><BR/>Valerie Donndelinger<BR/>Dearborn, MI<BR/><BR/>PS - I never did figure out where to get that fox garden statue!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
