Class leader. In a class of one. Shaft drive middleweight. 2V pushrod motor, screw & locknut tappet/valve adjustment. Proper. No one else doing one, inc BMW who prefer a chain on summat below 1000cc. Well done Mandello Del Lario.
Because that bike has a trad shaped Guzzi tank, and two round headlights, instead of transformer, mutant, insect looks, it is a fine looking motorcycle. Lose the ride by wire and rider modes and TFT screen replaced with analogue clocks and it would be even better. Love it, well done Mandello Del Lario!
Nice to see someone take a bike and show what it is capable of and where it can go. No need to compare it to any other motorcycles or techno talk just show how it functions. Great job!
@@FunWithAJ i wish i am there only every 2 years or so to see family - i just retired from ft sill and the only cool area for bikers here is adam sandovals kriver camp ground - stay awesome brother
Alot of people don't get this type of riding which is why adv bikes are often a joke to many who haven't ridden one. everybody has been given a diet of sports bikes or dirt bikes. The market in between has always existed but it was small and full of compromises. But now it's the fastest growing category because people from both sides of riding are realising they can have their cake an eat it too. A big bike like this is, on these kinds of roads is as much fun as a 2 stoke on a snotty single trail or a super bike on a race track.
Jamie! Can you do a video that walks us though how you pack your motorcycle efficiently for camping? Including how to pack the burger ingredients? Would love to see it.
Awesome way to sell this bike Jamie!!! Ridden the way it was intended. Too many people complain about adv bikes saying they are too bike to take off road. Yep they are right. But taken on the roads like you have in this vid is what they are made for. No way you would get a sports tourer or bigger up those tracks. I actually didn't think the guzzi would be that good to be honest. No doubt there are better bikes for that riding but they aren't guzzi's. I think this would make a great alternative to a vstrom and with that shaft drive it might be the better option. I would't trade my 1190 for it nor would I buy one over some other bike but I'm now a fan of this bike. It's actually in a class of it's own. Love it!
Jamie - what a great video! The production value is fantastic. From the sound to the wheel shots to the laziness by the campfire - it takes the viewer right there. I think Moto Guzzi has you to thank for showing off the rough-road capabilities of a bike that so many reviewers essentially dismiss as maybe being able to take on a nice fire trail, but not much more. The sound quality was excellent with that V-twin thumping through loud and clear. I think I’ll be headed to my Guzzi dealer soon!
Thank you taking us along on this beautiful journey with the Guzzy a bike I love to have. You probably could have this on any bike with your skills. Love the out takes, made me laugh so hard. Hello from Northern Ontario Canada.
There is a Guzzi store 20 miles from me. Next weekend i'm going for a test ride on the white and red one. I'm certain to buy one, it reminds me of an updated Buell Ulysses.
Great shots and story! Would you have taken a boring heavy GS for this? Dont think so. This 85tt seems to have good balance, OK weight, decent power, good price. Does not excell in anything, just a usable machine. Love it. Good job Moto Guzzi!
@@couttsy222 it absolutely could, dont misunderstand. But they are almost twice as expensive (bmw are master in selling expensive extras), which makes for a hefty repair bill so mostly pampered around. GS is a 55+, wealthy white mans bike. Not a bad machine, but just such a dreary sight and seldomly used to do stuff like that. No offense, just not for me (yet?)
@@MikeBikeOriginal - Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I got my first GS when I was in my thirties (an 1150) and still have it with 200,000kms on it. I currently also have a 1250 and do fall into your presumed demographic but it gets used on ALL surfaces in whatever terrain comes my way. It's capability is amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on the roads in video (and worse) -- but I'd remove the panniers! The trap is, it's all about image, which I despise. People will buy -- or refuse to buy -- a GS because of it's image rather than it's ability. This video was also trying to paint an image to a certain sort of motorcyclist -- the urban "wish-I-could-do-that" dreamer. Dreaming is fine, but I'm doing rather than dreaming! (well, except for this %$#@!! Covid virus). PS: I still love the Guzzi and when I need to get a smaller bike as I get older, that is what I aspire to! :-) Enjoy the ride!
Great ride! Burger looks devine as usual...time to cook dinner! Incredible views. It's great to get away from it all in these crazy times. Keep enjoying your family, life is short.
Top video, your adventure rides have the best photography great production fantastic scenery and music that complements the vid (not heavy American rock at top volume) keep up the good work.
Great video of my old stomping grounds. Really nicely put together. The city squidly riding is bad mojo man. Makes cars pissed at motorcyclists. Not supposed to lane share at speed like that, no one’s glued to their rear view watching for you, they’re looking ahead. Don’t be upset or surprised if someone cuts you off. Not if but when. Aaaand I gotta say it, on those trails at that speed, be ready to launch off the trail when an ATV or Jeep comes whipping around the corner. Happens up there all the time.
This video is beyond perfect, greats tracks, impressive camera shots, lots of mesmerising nature view, a mindful joyful handsome strong man, he cooks to and a bike that everyone Likes, Wants and Loves.
👍🏻👍🏻 you are a good outdoor cook. Wonderfull Test of MOTO GUZZI V85 TT Travel. I like this fantastic Enduro bike. Wonderful Country. Thx for your video.
Man Jamie; you showed with the V 85TT can do with an experience rider; I have one myself but being 70 years old; I don’t have the prowess I had in my younger years on dirt bikes. Thanks for the honest review and video. John
Great video , I hope everyone understands how good of a rider you are to take a 500lbs motorcycle on those rough rocky trails. I would have get crash bars before I tried that .
Big fan of the MG85TT and an even bigger fan of your top quality videos Jamie! Love the burger theme running through all of them. Greetings from NE Victoria, Australia
I got a kick out of seeing Scott Russell Rd in this one, Jamie. My first sighting of that sign was while riding by on a '92 ZX-7R with a Muzzys exhaust. A wait, what?!? moment! Life is good, as you've shown. GET SOME!
I really enjoy your videos. They are stories about the adventures of motorcycling. The very reason why meany of us are into motorcycles in 5he first place.
Damn it Jamie! You had to let everybody know about Pine Mountain? Why??? Now every hipster in LA with a scrambler will be heading there!! =D That campground has been a personal favorite for many years. The whole area...outstanding twisties and dirt. Was hoping to get there myself in the next few weeks, but all campgrounds in the Los Padres are closed right now.
There is a dirt road in the back of Pine mountain that takes you all the way to Ojai perfect for an adventure bike. The general store in Pine mountain club is not that great, but not too far in Frazier park close to the 5 freeway, there is an mazing restaurant called the Red Dot....the food is beyond good. The views from Cerro Noreste are great, I go in hikes with my dog there all the time, and nearby you also have mount Pinos as you turn in the s curve towards Pine mountain Club. Cool thing is that you can be there is less than an hour an half from Los Angeles but in the winter be ready for snow and tough road conditions.
MotoGeo if you keep going pass pine mountain club you also can go towards the coast Will be getting a Honda Africa twin next year driving to Alaska .... can’t wait to hit the road ! Take care
Another great video. Silly question, but how does he keep his eggs and bacon from not spoiling after a day and night of hot temperatures? He needs to show us how he packs it.
Great video and cool bike :) I like that you showed a bit more of your offroading techniques in this one. I typically ride bikes that aren't true offroaders to my campsites and it was helpful seeing how you navigate the water gullies and talking about lowering your PSI for traction :)
Awesome video Jamie!! You really know all the best spots to ride and get out of the city, for sure. I was just up there last weekend, the Hudson Ranch Road - to Lockwood Valley - to Hwy 33 is epic moto land. Thanks for sharing your adventures brother.
Live near Ojai. All of the campgrounds and many of the dirt roads in the area are closed right now. Sucks. If you are up that way again and you ride dirt, try Quatal Road....connects Hudson Ranch to 33. Apache is pretty good, though it is a 10 mile dead end, picnic area at the end.
@@markbrown2885 Yup. A quick check last night showed that ALL Los Padres campgrounds are closed. All of my favorite overnighter areas are closed or on fire =( Had hoped to get up to Old Coast Trail: closed. Ponderosa/Dome Rock: closed.
@@markbrown2885 I google the sites. You get results for the agencies that manage them.

Thanks, Jamie! This is THE video that settled it for me and convinced me to buy my V85 TT. Excellent content.
"what a great day, havent seen anyone!"
i agree bro, i agree
Nice to see someone take a bike and show what it is capable of and where it can go. No need to compare it to any other motorcycles or techno talk just show how it functions. Great job!
'Haven't seen anyone. Perfect' hahaha that's my kind of motorcycling perfection too
Why can't i find friends who want to do things like this. It's all a man needs really...
I feel you everybody is just a bar hopper on a bike i got all 3 of mine to lay down miles
If you're near socal let me know. I'm interested in these types of weekend adventures!

Me too! I'm in the thick of raising three boys right now though.
he really needs his own cooking show- with motorcycles on the side. Cheers!
Love the foodie stuff - Bilbo Baggins would be proud! Ripper bike too - shaftie!
I agree.
He really needs his cholesterol checked!
100%. Except it was weird seeing him make a fire, but cook on a gas burner. I don’t quite understand that.
@@whatsstefon I was having the same question
Eggs, the perfect ingredient to carry on an enduro bike. And in my Guzzi T5 they arrived already scrambled.
And free-range chicken eggs, at that! Did you notice how orange the yolks were?
Moto Guzzi is such an underappreciated motorcycle. They make great bikes and they look amazing as well. Great video as always mate.

I’m thinking the support vehicle with camera crew and drone packed the supplies lol
It's the best sounding motorcycle I've ever heard. Also perhaps the loudest gear change too.
You’d love an old 70’s Guzzi LeMans with the proper LaFranconi pipes. Best thing I’ve ever heard.!
Then you should listen to more Guzzis
Hahaha it is for sure, sometimes when I change gear and don't hear the clank I'm like "did the gear actually get in?"

Bosco Neptune Glad for you. Guzzi’s offer such a heart full riding experience. I own a Breva 750 and such a character full bike, super reliable too.
your videos are nothing short of inspirational keep em coming
Good ride Jamie! Keep it up, living vicariously through you for now!
What a great outdoor riding session in a beautiful area. Can't wait for it myself.
Superb video, drool-worthy hamburger and killer breakfast, and lovely Moto Guzzi!
Shaft drive?! Yes!
I don't know what I liked more, if the motorcycle, the landscapes or the food !!!! haha
Great Video Jamie , awesome Nature and shows that the Guzzi is not only a street bike also good for adventure roads , regards from Germany thumbs up 👍
