In the foreground, a 2004 Moto Guzzi California EV Touring sits on the sidestand in a parking area off the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. The bike is shot in profile with the front wheel to the viewer's left. The middle ground is forested but the leaves have not come out yet. A peak rises in the distance, which may be Fork Mountain?

The same motorcycle as in the previous photograph, now resting on its sidestand in a driveway. It is a 3/4 view from the front right side of the bike. The front wheel is in the shadow cast by the garage. The rest of the bike is in bright sunshine.

Back on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a Saturday spin. Only a quick 40-mile trip, but it feels worlds away.

Random #motophoto time. Up in the Pyrenees. It's what I think of as being 'Happy riding' up there 😊

Random #motophoto time. Riano in Spain. It's one of those countries that's full of surprises and that lake has quite a story.

Random #motophoto time. It's on the chilly side here today so I've been mentally warming myself up by looking at hot motorcycle pictures 😁

This one's from Death Valley. Yep, I feel warmer now!

In a promotional photo for a motorcycle supply house, a model rides a Moto Guzzi with clip on handlebars down an urban avenue and directly towards the camera.

No affiliation with these guys at all, but I sure appreciate their using the right brand of bike in their ads! 😂

A Moto Guzzi touring motorcycle sits in the sun at a rest stop in Henderson County, North Carolina. There is an Arai Signet helmet on the passenger backrest in the colors of the Italian flag. The US and State flags are at half-staff in honor of former NC Governor James B. Hunt, who died on Thursday, December 18th.

A close-up of the gas tank of the motorcycle in the previous picture. The gas cap is visible along with a decal. The decal is made up of the Guzzi eagle, "1921" (the year of the company's founding) and "UNA STORIA ITALIANA" in an oval that is green, white, red, and gray/silver. The rider, a tree, and clouds are visible in the reflection of the glossy paint.

A stop today on the 120-mile trip from Christmas #1 to Christmas #2.

Beautiful December weather for writing another chapter of an Italian story.

A 2004 Moto Guzzi California EV Touring 1100 sits on the center stand in the sunlight. It does not have the factory Hepco and Becker hard bags mounted.

Beauty might be one of the most subjective things in human experience, and I might be able to look at this bike all day.

A 2004 Moto Guzzi California EV Touring sits on the sidestand in the seller's crowded garage in a suburb of Kansas City, MO. An 850-mile ride to the buyer's home in NC awaits.

The same motorcycle as in the previous photograph sits at a gas pump roughly 100 miles into the journey from Western MO to Western NC.

Meh backgrounds.
Lovely foregrounds.

Random #motophoto time. That moment when the day is getting a little too long & you suddenly find an amazing wild-camping spot. Yep, this'll do 😊
This was in Norway a while back. Love that you can wild camp legally. There are rules - follow them, and leave nothing behind you.

Random #motophoto time. 😊 Me n' Lucky on the backroads in Virginia a while back.

Cheers to Mark Carrera for the photo!

Random #motophoto time. This one's from California. I didn't see one other vehicle during the time I was riding this area.

Just me, my bike and a very peaceful road. Just look at the colour of the sky! Wonderful to ride under.

Random #motophoto You'll not often find me on a freeway when I'm in the US. Backroads? Love them. It's where life is, and less dash!

This shot is from Washington last year. I loved meandering this area. I rode full of curiosity. Lot's to see.

This is from my zig zaggy ride in the USA last year. Virginia to Oregon. Furthest south? New Mexico. Furthest north? Washington. Furthest west? California's coast.

What an amazing spot Death Valley is.

Random #motophoto time. Backroads Colombia 1997. I'm grinning as I look at this. Really hot & amazingly humid. Colombia was magic riding. 👍👍👍Wonderfully diverse landscapes. Very friendly people.
