I've never met anyone who doesn't like going on a beach holiday. But why is it that beaches always seem such a long way away? Is it left over torment from when you were just an excited kid in the back seat of the car shouting: "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
So could it be that 'the beach' is more than just where the ocean meets the land? Could it be that 'the beach' and a beach holiday is made up of other elements, including a beachy state of mind.
Overhearing the words beach holiday, from out of a crowd on a miserable city working day, is enough to get the dream machines going. Some beach holiday dreamers think wistfully of the sound of the ocean waves, some drool over the idea of the sand between their toes, some fantasise about shaded palms and turquoise waters and some people just want a day to themselves where they can soak up the long beach holiday sun without needing an excuse.
In the minds of many beach holiday dreamers, perfect beaches are of ribbons of soft white sand sinking beneath water a shade of blue my paint box calls Brandeis Blue. If this is your ideal then Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, Australia is a good bet. The sand is pure white silica and there is 5km of it. You can also camp,

The best, however, if you're interested in rock pooling or snorkelling is Bondi Beach, on one side of the steep bay are rock-pools and a shallow children's pool. Right by all the promenade cafes, its yellow sand covered in rows of red lobster bodies, is great for people watching.
If you want to get technical a beach not only doesn't need to have sand, it doesn't even need to have saltwater. Considering that,

The ocean sound and sandy salty smell evoke memories of relaxing and not having to do anything. 'Cause that's the thing about beach holidays: you don't have to wear shoes or a watch, you don't have to dress up, you don't really have to do anything and that's fine. At the beach you can be as active or as inactive as you like, beach boys jog or play sport or swim, beach girls who like reading, read, for beach holiday babes, sand is surprisingly entertaining. Where else do you find the same freedom from expectations?
Having to travel to get to your beach holiday destination is part of the magic. On your way the same sense of excitement you had when you were a kid builds,

The first-second combination allows for easy maneuvering and nice "zippy" moves on the streets. If you're expecting the slouched-over, "lone, unloved and apathetic biker" riding position that many cruisers offer, you're going to be disappointed. The best position on this bike is a standard straight up and down, nearly cop-like. It's comfortable, gives you tons of visibility - you're eye-to-eye with drivers in all but the tallest SUVs. Friends that see me on the road say that I look better on this bike than the others that I've ridden - time to have a chat with the wife and see if she likes white or black.The controls have a nice "retro" look, but they are most definitely modern. Italian bike owners will be familiar with this layout. The clutch is butter smooth, allows for a lot of feathering and never gives a hint of any wooden or binary grabbiness. The instruments all have a slightly retro character, and this is also attractive, down to the speedometer that reads about 10% optimistic.
Looks like Guzzi had some left over parts from my old one, as they read almost identically. Brakes took a little getting used to. I'm more of a "front braker" person, so I usually apply the fronts and then ease the back brake in for a settling effect. Turns out that the Guzzi Linked brakes work well for this,

For those of you unfamiliar, the linked brakes on equipped Moto Guzzi bikes operate the left front disc in conjunction with the rear disc. The front brake lever operates only the front right Brembo.The combination is both effective and safe. Hard to high-side a bike with linked brakes when used correctly, since you can modulate the speed of both wheels with the rear lever.
