One can't always be off on a massive mega-trip. Sometimes, a short spin around the neighbourhood is almost as good. In this video I take my old Eldorado for a spin through some Eastern Ontario backroads looking for autumn leaf splendor. The leaves weren't too impressive, but it was a great ride anyway.

Bellissimo percorso Nick immerso nella natura con una Guzzi che ricordo bene, era il 68 avevo 6 anni era la moto di un amico di mio padre che mi porto' a fare un giro dell'isolato, bellissimi ricordi indelebili. Il percorso che hai fatto assomiglia molto alla zona dove abito in Italia, precisamente a Miazzina nel parco nazionale della Valgrante sopra Verbania lago maggiore. Ormai non posso più guidare sono un pensionato disabile, ma rimangono i ricordi di bellissimi viaggi in moto, girando mezza Europa, buona fortuna amico Guzzista e buon giro.

Ciao Danilo, descrivi dei ricordi meravigliosi nel tuo bellissimo paese. Deve essere difficile non riuscire più a godersi la gioia di guidare da soli, quindi spero che i miei piccoli video ti aiutino a ricordare quei momenti preziosi. Ho 73 anni, quindi non so per quanto tempo potrò guidare, ma continuerò a farlo il più a lungo possibile. Grazie ancora per le belle parole e scusate per la lentezza della mia risposta. Ero a Terranova con mia moglie (purtroppo in macchina). Auguri. Nick

@yukonica4560
@yukonica4560 10 месяцев назад
Nick, I'm a wee bit envious of your last turns of the rubber for this year. Any Guzzi on the fly is a wonderful sound. Could feel myself in the saddle on the Mill Road. I resisted mothballing Mr Guzzi (2013 V7) in hope of a final ride or two. It snowed two days ago and this morning my 'do I ride thermometer' read -18 (C). Sigh. Now I have to wait until it is warm enough to ride the bike up a steep ramp and into the shop for its winter refit. I'll be replaying this ride a few times in the next five months.
@nick949eldo
@nick949eldo 10 месяцев назад
-18c - that seems a little depressing so early in the season. On the bright side, you're in the Yukon, so even if you're not able to ride, you do have that breathtaking scenery all around which, I'm sure, isn't hurt by a dusting of snow. Stay well. Spring will be here in......well, a few months anyway.😁

Hi Nick. The Fall is by far my favourite time for riding. All through the July heat I look forward to mid August and the first hint of changing colours in the leaves. September is my favourite month of the year. Unfortunately we didn't get that transition this time around though. Not even a frosty morning yet. I have two ritual Fall rides. One is the first few days of the first week of October, staying in Bracebridge and wandering around the Muskoka lakes. The colours this time weren't as dramatic as those that I see in my photo's from previous year's rides. But the roads are always wonderful. The other is out through Renfrew and Eganville, then down the 512 (Foymount Road), 515, and 514. I did this one just last Thursday (19-Oct). Unfortunately it clouded over south of Eganville making this year's disappointing foliage even more dull. But the clouds had a drama of their own, and sometimes the more subtle dry browns of the fields and roadside bushes are more appealing in the softer light. Although I didn't set out to ride any dirt roads, much of Foymount road is torn up now for rebuilding, so I got my share of gravel. Outside of Renfrew I only saw one other bike on the road all day. Good to see that you were out for a cruise. You're putting those semi-dirt tires on the Guzzi to good use.

Excellent work Nick. Just home from a lovely late autumn run myself albeit a fraction of the mileage covered by yourself. Indeed the steed does seem to run crisper in the cool late afternoon air. Unfortunately with the Ambo wrapped up for winter I had to make do with one of my old MZs also a characteristic machine, well in my opinion anyway…. Take care.
