    Join me on my escape from New York City to the Catskills wilderness area.
    Thanks to Moto Guzzi Americas for lending me the V7 Special for the weekend and Anna at Kahn Media for making it happen! The 850cc is a perfect engine for a trip like this, and the bike is a swiss army knife to handle anything you throw its way.
    I traveled to Upstate New York, up the Hudson River, to do some motorcycle camping near the areas of the Indian Head wilderness, Kaaterskill Wild Forest, and Hunter-west Kill Wilderness.

    I came here for a motorcycle review and was given a motorcycle ride with a level of poignancy and thoughtfulness usually reserved for great short stories, well done.

    That entrance onto the FDR in the beginning brought back nyc motorcycle memories for me from the early 80’s. Damn I’m old.

    More than just a video, but a visual reset of the inner man's soul and thoughts. Thank you, Moto Guzzi is a beautiful machine, a lot of craftsmanship is apparent. Thank you.

    Is it the Moto Guzzi V7's unique, balanced, and personal riding pleasure that inspires thoughtful introspection on life through returning to nature...?! 😳

  • @TheInterloafer
    @TheInterloafer Před 5 měsíci +1

    This trip looks incredible, and the video is really good. I love it. Thank you for posting. It's a nice touch to see that gloves for motorcycling double as gloves for touching containers of boiling water.

    Thanks for the ride. I use to live in Ossining NY and commute to my work in NYC on my motorcycle. That was a long long time ago.. Good memories accept the get off on the FDR drive and broken leg... Thats when I learned what a high side was!!

    I ride that area a lot, every shot seemed familiar.. In fact I came home yesterday from an ADK trip via Schoharie to Catskill. Was peak peak color around Indian Lake BTW I lived in Brooklyn 30 years ago but I never had that great open road experience you show. I did need to get out of the city a lot.

    Beautiful, and every time I watch your videos it makes me consider selling my high tech motorcycles and just getting back to the basics as you have. Two wheels and a motor.

      I'm just thinking about the same thing. I have a Multistrada V4 and yesterday I drove a V7 Stone. well, it will probably be next. My friends say I'm a fu…ng idiot 😎😎

    The journey was more important than the choice of motorcycle, apparently.

    @m27931 Před 6 měsíci

    Spray some silicone on the exposed bolts before they seize with rust. I got a v7 kept outside under cover and that was an issue, though it still runs great. I know indoor parking can be hard to find in a city.

    That was superb! I too ride a Moto Guzzi V7 Special, but a 2020 version, and I also ride to Phoenicia often. But my ride is from northern NJ and takes about 2.5 hours by my various routes. I recognized some of the roads in your vid but not sure where you camped. Where was that site, if you don't mind. Perhaps I will meet you up there one day. Regards, Scott
