Model(s) covered: 2006 Moto Guzzi California Touring

I'm prowling the main street in Italy's Mandello del Lario, conscious that my perennial urge to devour the turns and twists of all the world's roads in a frantic flurry of revs, reaction and rubber has vanished.
I feel so laid back I'd light a cigarette (except it'd make me cough - not cool). Bemused at my strange new outlook, I admire the scenery. I can do this because it's in focus, not passing me by in a blur of speed. This must be what they call "cruising".
