    HI all. I'm a new member, but long time mc rider. I currently have a Moto Guzzi Lemans and a Triumph Bonneville and am in the market for an adventure bike to explore the gravel/fire roads of the NC mountains and take several weekend trips (some two-up with my wife). Coming from a long line of...
