Touring the World on a Moto Guzzi Spada

[@RealMe-sd9nm]

From the looks of it, this is indeed a very practical bike to use for traveling round the world. There is that big windshield to prevent fatigue from the constant blowing wind, the overhead roof to shield from the sun and the rain, the many accompanying containers to store & keep essential & personal belongings and finally the big seats to keep oneself comfortable for the long journey. Well done.

[@nagannanagesh]

3.5 yrs!!! And still going??? These are truly "TRIP KINGS" I hope they complete the WORLD TOUR safely

[@krazyface8488]

God bless them. I love people that LIVE their lives.

[@freeclimb64]

KrazyFace i´m 50: Leave god out of this.

[@krazyface8488]

It's a fucking expression as if saying "good for them". If you couldn't figure that out, I'd suggest putting the top back on on that piece of shit you ride. I think the wind blew most of your brains out of your head. Ugly ass car. Chicks drive more masculine cars than that. Damn, talk about a mid-life crisis.

[@krazyface8488]

I find it absolutely hilarious that you all have absolutely no lives but to jump down my throat for saying something positive for a couple living out their lives in a way a lot of us would envy. Big fucking deal if I say "God bless them", or "Good for them". Is your life really that boring that you have to say something negative, when clearly I was happy for this couple? I can totally understand someone jumping down my throat if I said anything negative to insult this couple, but obviously I am happy for them. Go on with your insignificant life, continue putting down others that compliment strangers, and I'll go get my extension ladder so I can get on top of my horse...

[@krazyface8488]

Ok, well I am man enough to apologize if I do wrong, so I am sorry. Being that you do not live in the U.S., you probably are not aware of all the annoying teenage trolls that comment and are like a thorn on the side when it comes to KZbin. I'm from NYC, and have an aggressive, always on the defense type of personality. It's just how it is over here. I go on KZbin a lot, and see a lot of dumb comments written by spoiled kids, and it's very tiring to see over and over on so many videos, especially something as innocent as this one. Maybe I jumped the gun and got too defensive. I was just trying to be happy for this couple for doing what I wish I could be doing, that is all.

[@krazyface8488]
