Understood. Automation could be applied in a second stage then.

Why are you not delegating tasks to agents? Safety? Preservation of process?

Updated again!

To all those that have Cloudflare human checks installed on their websites, I bail before I get to you.

What's the max cc in the UK then?

@meetmobility.comOct 3, 2026, 8:51 AM

I think you can still restrict it here in DE. My 850 was restricted when I bought it. (48 hp)

It's all lovely to celebrate the day of unity but all the damn shops are shut until Monday and I wasn't prepared. Sunday Roast cancelled.

It feels like they missed the boat. CF Moto booked many of the seats in that over the last year! Still, I'm kinda interested to see how it compares to the V85TT.

Riding the #V85TT free of luggage for the first time in weeks. I had forgotten how nimble it is, and how good it looks! #motosky #motoguzzi

I did not expect that to happen!

I was there last Thursday! (Opposite the Police station)

The full report of my 120 liter luggage setup on the V85TT Travel. I'm not 100% happy but I think I'll go with it.

I'm going off those panniers to be honest. The more I look at them the more I feel that they don't really match the ruggedness of the bike. I've updated my report. meetmobility.com/information/...

The "uncanny valley" is something I won't forget. Thanks for the write up.

@meetmobility.comSep 30, 2026, 4:26 AM

Exactly. A real 100km/h, currently 107 for me. I don't have major buzzing but in general it's just too noisy, inefficient and bufferty (is that a word?) at higher speeds. I might push it up a little on the German Autobahn!

@meetmobility.comSep 30, 2026, 2:38 AM

The shakedown tour, DE to UK, went perfectly. 1200 km.
What I learnt:
- Yup, I took too much.
- Motorway cruising best at 100 km/h .
- Most efficient on country roads
- Great lights for night riding
- People like the V85!

"Metric Cruisers" 😂

Designed to keep the loudest people quiet. The Spotify model will be accepted eventually though, leaving small scale experts with nothing. The only upside is that bodies of good, original, breaking, expert, deep research could go up in value on the open market.

Very much looking forward to my trip via Hoek van Holland to UK next Sunday night and the camping the following weekend. I just love that moment when you ride onto the ferry and strap the bike down. This time with the Guzzi, not the VFR, #motosky

Yeah. Weather and fatigue will always play a role in changing day to day plans.
