Thank you for your comment. As you pointed out, the GoPro I attached to the crash bar was a type that didn't have image stabilization, so the image was shaking.

Thank you for your wonderful comment. In Japan, there are very few people who ride Moto Guzzi California II, and I have never met anyone like that before. So I think it would be fun to go on a tour with someone who also ride California 2.

Thank you for your comment. I was touring on my old Italian motorcycle when I saw this on display in a park in a small town and stopped in to take a photo. It's a model of jet fighter that brings back fond memories for me.

Thank you for your comment. You have an amazing motorcycle career. I think the Le Mans V is a complete motorcycle, part of the series starting with the 850. I'm almost 70 years old, so I need to reduce the number of motorcycles I own, but I haven't decided yet. I'm going to take a little more time to make a choice. I hope you have a good motorcycle life.

Thank you for your comment. The Le Mans 3 is a motorcycle that is easy to handle and has enough performance for me. I have ridden motorcycles from various manufacturers, but Moto Guzzi is my favorite. I hope you two continue to enjoy your motorcycle life.

Thank you for your comment. This is Hokkaido, a small island in northern Japan.

Thank you for your comment. So you have a Spada. It's a 1000SP Spada. It's lighter than my California 2, and has more power and torque. I think it's the perfect Moto Guzzi for touring.

Thank you for your interest in my video. This is a small island in northern Japan called Hokkaido.

Or an old /5 BMW

Thank you for your comment. So you have seven favorite motorcycles. Enjoy riding them!

Thank you for your comment. I always travel alone and have my camera on the side of my helmet or on my chest, so the only footage I got was through the big windshield of my Moto Guzzi California II. In the future, I'll try to get the California II in the frame.

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 ,yes at the beginning, show off the bike. I love how the Guzzi’s look. I started riding in 1965. I’ve had many various brands, some rare ones also.

Thanks for the good idea.

Thank you for your comment. As you might imagine, this is an island in northern Japan called Hokkaido.

Yes, the California 2 also has a large screen, just like the 850T3 California.

Thank you for your comment. I live on a small island in northern Japan called Hokkaido. Because it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, touring is limited to a certain area, so even the longest trip is about 1500 to 2000 km. You live in Barcelona. Europe is a continent, so it's great to be able to ride your California 2 to different countries. When I was younger, I spent a summer in Northern Norway, and there were a lot of motorbike riders from all over Europe, including some from Italy, who were trying to reach the Arctic Circle. As you say, I also think the GoPro Hero 4 has better sound quality from the external microphone. The AKASO's external microphone connection terminal is not a standard one and can only be used with genuine external microphones. This means that I cannot connect higher quality microphones available on the market.

Thank you for your comment. My 650SS is made in 1965.

Thanks for your comment. That’s why I like Moto Guzzi.

Thank you for your comment. As you said, the old Tonti-frame Moto Guzzi and mono-shock BMW twins are not very popular. That's why I was able to get them at a reasonable price, but unfortunately I have now sold the R100RS. For long-distance touring, I use two Moto Guzzi, and for day trips, I mainly use the T140 or 650SS. I also ride the side-valve 750 twin and R27 for short distances of about 300 km.

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 I love the Le Mans series 3. I ride lighter bikes in the 600 cc class (like he Ducati Pantah 600 and Honda NT 650 GT which I tend to modify heavily with my own fairing designs and builds) but this is my favorite Guzzi, although I also like the Imola, Monza and Lario a lot. And then there is the new V 100 Mandello of course.

As I get older, I am also interested in mid-sized, lightweight Guzzi, such as the Monza, V50, V65, Lario, and Targa750.

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 Such bikes deliver everything one needs on the road at more or less legal speeds. The best motorcycle in the world is the one you are in full control of. 👍

As you say, I think it is important to choose a motorcycle with a displacement that you can control. But what is interesting is that it is not just the displacement that affects the engine's character, but also the shape of the cam and the size of the carburetor. I think the strong torque from low speeds and gentle acceleration that I felt when I first rode the California 2 were due to the heavy flywheel, small-diameter carburetor, and cam shape. Even though it is the same Moto Guzzi, the LM3 is very different in that it has strong torque from low speeds and a good acceleration due to the Dellorto carburetor with an acceleration pump. And both are fun to ride, and I never get bored even when riding long distances. My son's Ducati 860GTS, with its light flywheel and sharp acceleration, gave me the impression that it was urging me to go faster. The Moto Guzzi is different, and even when riding behind a four-wheeled vehicle traveling at the legal speed, the LM3 does not make me feel rushed by the motorcycle. Let's continue to enjoy life with motorcycles together.

コメント、ありがとうございます。 　ご指摘のとおり、ナイタイ高原牧場です。 以前から行きたかったのですが、休暇がなかなか取れず、やっと目的を果たせました。 　その後、美幌峠と小清水峠を周って、その日は660㎞を走りました。翌日は雨模様だったので、帰って来ましたが、遅いオートバイなので高速は使わず、カッパで蒸れながらのんびり帰路につきました。

Thank you for your comment. You say you're riding a WLA. Does that sound come from the engine or TM? I got my WLC in 2014, and the cylinder sleeve was at its limit for size increase, so in 2016 I bought a NOS standard size cylinder, piston, valves, etc. on e-bay and completely overhauled the engine and TM. Since then, the engine has become quieter and revs up smoother. Enjoy your WLA.

Thank you for your comment. This GTS was also made in 1976 and had a starter motor, but I removed it and replaced the side cover with a model without a starter motor, so it only uses kick start. As you say, kicking requires some skill.

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 ah yes, now I recall it had a starter motor but it never worked to kick over the engine- the battery presumably wasn’t powerful enough

Grazie per i tuoi commenti sempre gentili. Sia la California 2 che la LeMans 3 sono moto fantastiche per me. Quest'estate ho intenzione di fare un viaggio di 1.000 km con Cali 2. Occuparsi.

Grazie a te caro amico hai ragione da vendere, in gioventù le ho provate tutte e due grandi moto con differente carattere giustamente. Sono felice per te ti auguro un buon viaggio ricco di emozioni ciao amico.

Moto Guzzi S29, LAFRANCONI 16 Original exhausts.

​@@classicmotorcycleriding3101I have a Cali 2, too. 😊

Thank you for your interest in my videos. Science I live in the countryside, I haven’t had the opportunity to see old motorcycles from UK, Italy, or USA. So, I started collecting little by little so that I could actually try riding them. To maintain these old bikes, I either sent them to specialty shops in the city or went to a school that taught me how to restore them so I could maintain them myself.

Thank you for your comment. Cali Vintage is also nice Moto Guzzi. Enjoy riding her.

Thank you for your comment. I think that the California 2's up-handlebars and comfortable seat make it less tiring for the rider even when riding for long periods of time. When riding in that position, I get the impression that the field of vision is wide. In particular, the LM3 that I own is perfect for enjoying cornering on winding roads, but the Cal2 seems more suitable for long-distance touring while enjoying the scenery.

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I have never ridden a BSA 650cc, but I got the impression that it had more torque than the Triumph T140. The T140 gets more power at 4,000 rpm or more, but the Dominator 650SS accelerates vigorously from around 3,000 rpm.

You must be very frustrated…

Thank you for your comment. As you know, LeMans is originally a sports tourer that specializes in high-speed cruising, but thanks to Moto Guzzi’s engine characteristics, which have a lot of torque even at low speeds, it can run a variety of roads.

@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 Right. No TC, no IMU, no ABS, no FI.....pure riding. Best regards

If you’d like, I’d be happy if you could watch the California 2 videos posted in August 2022. The title of one of three videos is as follows. “Adventure riding Moto Guzzi California 2 on a gravel road to the top of mountain.” Thank you for your interest in my videos.

Thank you for your comment. This is Hokkaido.
