Hello GRiSO Guys and Gals:

I am Tom, live in Northern Kentucky just below Cincinnati, Ohio and don't have a GRiSO, yet. At this time, I have a V85TT Adventure in Ronald McDonald livery. I understand that you folks are a "higher class" of Guzzi rider. Thanks for having me.

Welcome, Tom.

Your intel about "higher class" is kind but clearly flawed. cheers

Congrats on the V85. I like the RMcD livery ... but then again -- evidence of the flaw in that intel assessment Wink

-- I also have an EV in HDM. Very Happy

FWIW, I spent some time at in Erlanger in junior year of high school. Still have a soft spot for a girl there ... Kathi humors me when I mention that (perhaps a bit too often Rolling Eyes

).

Welcome Tom. Wait til I show my wife this. She thinks I only have friends in low places. A "higher class of people" Wow, thanks BTW I really love my GRiSO

ONLY a V85. My heart bleeds for you. At least, unlike riding a different V twin, you won't have to park it sideways when riding with GRiSOs. Welcome to the ranks of the "grisoless". Enjoy.

We're a pretty catholic lot. We won't hold a V85 against you Very Happy

Welcome to the Ghetto. I'm not far from you, and ride down in your area often. We need to see if we can get a Guzzi Gathering together.

Ditto.

I ride to vic. Owensboro two or three times a year (for mutton! Rolling Eyes

).

My routes vary, but usually one or more bring me nearer than others. One frequent stop is to RON in Maysville, which is, by Guzzi standards, a suburb of "The 'Nati."

I've also been meaning to visit Cadre as I've only heard good things about that dealer.

Welcome to the Ghetto! I love the V85TT!

First time I have seen "higher class" and "Guzzi rider" used in the same sentence.

Welcome to the ghetto. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated...

Hey Tom Collins, pretty low key and loads of good info available in the Gehtto.

I have family in Louisville so it's likely I'll be near you sometime later this year. I'll get in touch if I'm going to be in the neighborhood.

Also, the Kentucky Guzzi Rally is a good time. I attended last year with a group from Indiana.

++ on the areas good roads and ummm yeah, somebody mention Bourbon? clown

I'd argue it's not a higher class, but a different class that happens to be higher, good sir. What a Face
