In 2020 Guy Pickrell won the Moto Guzzi competition “Spirit of the Eagle Rideaway”. He came up with an epic 8-day adventure route spanning 7 states and 6 national parks over 2,600 miles.
Moto Guzzi gave Guy and buddy Kit Klein use of two Moto Guzzi V85 TT adventure bikes and a travel budget of $ 2,500. They packed up their gear, had Michelin Anakee Wild tires fitted to their bikes, and set off.
From Seattle they drove east to Glacier National Park, south to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Flaming Gorge, Capitol Reef and Grand Staircase-Escalante and ended in Las Vegas. Their route included paved sections like Going-to-the-Sun Road in Montana and unpaved stretches like the Skyline Drive Scenic Backway in Utah.
Two friends, two bikes, a great adventure. This is their story.
