The Moto Guzzi Experience Is Back For 2022

[advrider]

It’s back for 2022! The Moto Guzzi Experience is coming to North America. Specifically, three spots within the United States. Sorry, Canada and Mexico.

If you’ve been wanting to ride one of the new(ish) V85TT models, this might be a fantastic chance. Each of the three locations hosts a six- or nine-day inclusive trip aboard a V85 TT of your choice.

The trips include the motorcycle rental, shared accommodations, and food, but not your airfare.

Where Are the Rides?

The first scheduled Experience takes place in the Ozarks June 15-20, 2022. It begins and ends in Bentonville, Arkansas. The bookend days are for travel, so attendees spend four days on the motorcycles. The trip winds through Roaring River State Park, Mt Magazine, and the Ouachita National Forest The road surfaces along the 650-mile, four-day ride vary between pavement and dirt, but expect mostly tarmac.

The next scheduled days find the Italian motorcycles riding around Yellowstone National Park on July 27 through August 1, 2022. The trip begins and ends in Bozeman, Montana, but riders will travel through both Montana and Wyoming. The ride takes adventurers along the Beartooth Highway, Gallatin National Forest, Yellowstone, and Big Sky. This approximately 600-mile trip spends four days mostly on asphalt.

Finally, a group of riders can opt to head to Santa Monica, California, September 28 through October 6, 2022. This ride winds through Malibu, the Ojai Valley, Carrizo Plain, Bakersfield, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Sequoia National Forest, Mono Lake, Sonora Pass, and of course large heapings of the Pacific Coast Highway. The approximately 1,225-mile ride looks like a good mix of road surfaces, both pavement and dirt.

What’s the Cost?

The first two trips will run you $2500 per person; note that’s with a shared room. They both include five nights in hotels, all your food (but not alcohol), and the motorcycle rental. The California trip, because it is a few days longer, is $3000 per person and includes eight nights.

What if you already own a Moto Guzzi, and would like to join this trip on your own bike? You will have to wait until the motorcycle rentals are sold out, and then sign up for the trip. The good news is, that knocks a grand off the cost of each trip.

What if you own some other marque, and would like to join the festivities in one of these locations? Too bad; you’ll have to plan your own trip, book your own hotels, and plot your own route. Any of these locations would be a great starting point, though.
