The 2024 Moto Guzzi Stelvio puts a fresh face on a familiar name. In continuous production since 1921‚ Moto Guzzi is Italy’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer. Covid forced a one-year postponement of the 100th anniversary celebrations held at its Mandello del Lario factory on the shores of Lake Como‚ but Guzzi is now making up for lost time.   Last year‚ Moto Guzzi launched the first bike based on its newest model platform: the multifaceted V100 Mandello‚ which aspires to be both an urban roadster and a mile-eating sport-tourer. One year later comes another new model‚ the reimagined 2024 Moto Guzzi Stelvio adventure-tourer‚ which was designed and engineered alongside the V100 and unveiled at last November’s EICMA show in Milan.  The 2024 Moto Guzzi Stelvio comes in two color variants‚ both matte: Giallo Savana (left) or Nero Vulcano (right). Given the current significance of the ADV segment in global market terms‚ it’s surprising that Guzzi’s owner‚ Piaggio‚ didn’t prioritize the Stelvio over the Mandello‚ but hey‚ better late than never. As I soon understood on an exclusive ride aboard this new model along the fabulously scenic‚ super grippy‚ and ultra-demanding mountain roads of the Ligurian Alps north of Genoa on a sunny winter’s day‚ this is a significant new model that moves Moto Guzzi to the forefront of everyday motorcycling. Priced at $16‚390 without the optional PFF Rider Assistance package‚ this new Guzzi is more costly than Suzuki’s $14‚849 V-Strom 1050XT‚ Honda’s $14‚499 Africa Twin‚ and Husqvarna’s $14‚899 Norden 901.   More impressive than the claimed output (115 hp at 8‚700 rpm and 77.4 lb-ft delivered at 6‚750 rpm when measured at the crank) is the fact that 82% of the torque is available from just 3‚500 rpm. Named after the legendary Dolomites pass in northern Italy‚ which connects two valleys via 48 hairpin bends‚ the Moto Guzzi Stelvio is a reincarnation of the previous model bearing the same name‚ which debuted in 2007 but was shelved in 2016 since it was unable to meet Euro 4 compliance. Powered by Guzzi’s 1200/8V Big Block motor‚ the previous iteration of the Stelvio was a much larger and 66-lb heavier motorcycle than its modern counterpart‚ and it represented an Italian air-cooled V-Twin alternative for those who didn’t want to ride a BMW R 1200 GS.   Related: 2012 Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX | Road Test Review  The Stelvio features tubeless spoked wheels: 3×19 inches in the front and 4.5×17 inches in the rear. The new Stelvio is a very different package‚ which‚ like the V100 Mandello‚ ticks an array of new boxes for the historic Italian brand. It’s Moto Guzzi’s first liquid-cooled ADV‚ its first with a DOHC valvetrain‚ its first to be fitted with a gear-driven counterbalancer‚ and its first to embrace advanced electronics‚ including a 6-axis Continental IMU to provide data for the throttle-by-wire‚ cornering ABS‚ and other digital amenities. It’s a second long-awaited 21st century real-world Moto Guzzi model‚ which Piaggio’s late boss Roberto Colaninno had promised he’d bankroll for the past decade or more. His engineers finally delivered it to the marketplace after his August 2023 passing.   The engine in the Stelvio was first seen in the V100 Mandello. The only things they have in common with Guzzi’s neo-vintage air-cooled OHV V-Twin predecessors are their transverse mounting in the chassis and shaft final drive. The result is a completely modern yet totally individual motorcycle that could not have emanated from any other manufacturer. Designer Giulio Rossi Paccani sought to create a best-in-class machine‚ one that wouldn’t need the famous Eagle badge or the trademark “flying” V-Twin to be identified as a Guzzi. The new Stelvio has undoubted presence – it looks classy‚ sleek‚ and undeniably modern‚ with the DRL light strip beneath its headlamp incorporating the silhouette of the Eagle in the Moto Guzzi tank badge with its wings spread wide. That’s neat!   The 2024 Moto Guzzi Stelvio leaves the city behind for adventure in the hills. Climb aboard the 32.7-inch stepped seat‚ which is sufficiently padded and has ample space for a passenger‚ and you’ll discover a great riding position thanks to the wide‚ tapered alloy handlebar that’s mounted on tall 3.7-inch risers and falls naturally to hand. The rubber grips are fat and thick‚ just right for good purchase. The new Moto Guzzi Stelvio feels more accessible than some other ADV models because the rider sits in it rather than perched up high‚ adding to the sense of control even in tricky conditions. This is a confidence-inspiring motorcycle that I felt at one with from the start. At 5-foot-10‚ I could put both feet flat on the ground at traffic lights thanks to the seat’s narrow front. Lower and taller seats are available as accessories.   The Michelin Anakee Adventure tires (120/70 front‚ 170/60 rear) provided excellent grip. The resulting riding stance is quite upright‚ with the rubber-mounted footpegs positioned relatively far back but not enough to be uncomfortable or to push the rider’s knees far enough forward to make friends with the cylinders‚ a common problem with Guzzi’s older OHV air-cooled V-Twins. Despite the fatter cylinders and heads of this liquid-cooled DOHC 8-valve motor‚ my knees came nowhere near the engine thanks also to the cylinders being inclined forward 6 degrees from vertical to create extra space‚ having already been rotated 90 degrees so that the throttle bodies are now positioned under the fuel tank‚ which also helps free up space. The engine is a fully stressed member of the tubular-steel trellis frame with eight mounting points.   Guzzi’s PFF Rider Assistance Solution includes a Marelli 11MP control unit and a 6-axis IMU‚ which analyzes data and optimizes the bike’s cornering ABS and traction control. Thumb the starter button‚ and the Stelvio’s V100 motor bursts immediately into life‚ settling to a 1‚300-rpm idle without any trace of the rock ‘n’ roll from side to side delivered by traditional air-cooled Guzzis like the V85TT‚ which remains in production as a counterpoint to the Stelvio. Even if the throttle is blipped in neutral‚ there’s hardly any sway. It’s also nearly silent mechanically‚ with no sign of the clicks and rattles of its pushrod ancestors.    The KYB cantilever monoshock is adjustable for spring preload via a remote external knob and for rebound damping but not for compression. This is a totally modern motorcycle‚ which also doesn’t rise and fall on the suspension when you put it in gear and ride away or when you roll on and off the throttle because of the shaft final drive’s hypoid rear drive unit. Guzzi engineers have finally delivered the best of both worlds that was always there for the taking if only they’d addressed this sooner – the convenience and cleanliness of shaft drive coupled with the neutral dynamics of a chain-drive bike. Lots of good engineering has gone into this motorcycle.   The long‚ cast aluminum single-sided swingarm on the Stelvio has been reinforced for offroad use and repositioned on the left side of the bike. The clutch lever is a bit stiffer than the one mated to the old air-cooled motor – but working said lever in traffic-choked stretches of road didn’t tire out my left hand unduly. The 6-speed gearbox’s shift action was almost flawless‚ and though not fitted to the Stelvio I tested‚ an up/down quickshifter is available as an option.   The Stelvio has an oil sump isolated from the crankcase via a reed valve‚ which minimizes the size of the lower portion of the engine and improves ground clearance when navigating off-road challenges. The Stelvio’s engine picks up strongly from 2‚800 rpm upwards‚ with 3‚000-6‚500 rpm being the happy zone where riders will surf most of the time. It’s a wonderfully flexible motor‚ and 3rd gear especially is a useful ratio that you can hold for miles on end along a winding hillside road‚ running from as low as 2‚000 revs to the 9‚500 rpm soft-action limiter with zero transmission snatch and an utterly linear torque curve.   The shape of the electrically adjustable windscreen was designed to deflect airflow while avoiding rear air vortices‚ aided by the presence of the two side deflectors. Thanks to the counterbalancer‚ there’s no real vibration to speak of‚ so you can really push the Stelvio hard‚ using the excellent feedback from the Sachs fork and the fine grip of the front Michelin Anakee Adventure tire to start sparking the footpegs’ hero tabs as you flick it from side to side. This is a nice-handling bike‚ with an unexpectedly plush ride quality‚ and despite its lack of a progressive-rate link‚ I could feel the KYB rear suspension smoothly working away beneath me. The suspension is adjustable for rebound damping and spring preload front and rear‚ and travel is 6.7 inches at both ends.  The Stelvio’s five ride modes (Sport‚ Road‚ Touring‚ Rain‚ Off-Road) all deliver full power‚ claimed to be 115 hp at 8‚700 rpm and 77.4 lb-ft delivered at 6‚750 rpm when measured at the crank‚ but they are tailored to different conditions using three different engine maps‚ three levels of engine braking‚ four levels of traction control‚ and two ABS modes. The Stelvio uses a 46mm Sachs inverted fork that’s set at 25.6 degrees of rake with 116mm of trail‚ a bit less sporty than the V100’s 24.7 degrees and 104mm. Road and Touring modes are very similar in response – whereas Sport is notably crisper and more exciting to use – but they all make the Stelvio easy and responsive to ride‚ and it’s very easy to switch between them on the go via a button on the right switchblock. Cruise control is also standard. The fact that most of the bike’s development was accomplished in the Aprilia R&;D Center in Noale‚ Italy‚ is surely one reason the Stelvio’s electronics are so excellent.   Although I rode in the Ligurian Alps‚ the Stelvio is named after the famous Alpine pass on the Italian/Swiss border that connects two valleys through 48 legendary hairpin bends. Although the bike I tested was not so equipped‚ the Stelvio will be the first model available with Moto Guzzi’s PFF Rider Assistance Solution as a factory-installed option. It uses 4D Imaging Radar technology to enable several safety-related features‚ including Following Cruise Control‚ Forward Collision Warning‚ Blind Spot Information System‚ and Lane Change Assist. Pricing for this option has not yet been announced.  The 5-inch color TFT is easy to navigate‚ but its location on the bike is somewhat obtrusive. The Stelvio has crisp‚ neutral steering and is surprisingly agile‚ with its wide handlebar allowing you to easily lever the bike from side to side through a series of twisting turns leading into yet another 2nd-gear hairpin while remaining super stable when needed‚ especially under hard braking. Indeed‚ slowing for such turns via the excellent Brembo brakes‚ with good initial bite from the radial monoblock front calipers‚ is always effective‚ and I could trail-brake into the apex without the Guzzi wanting to stand up and understeer.    The Stelvio’s 32.7-inch seat height‚ roomy footpeg placement‚ and wide aluminum handlebar contributes to a comfortable upright seating position. The bike’s steering geometry (25.6-degree rake and 4.6 inches of trail)‚ rational 59.8-inch wheelbase‚ and 170/60-17 rear tire all contribute to sweet‚ intuitive steering without having to give a discernible tug to the handlebar to make it change direction quickly. The 19-inch front tire suits the bike’s likely use: I didn’t get the chance to ride it off-road‚ but this is what the Italians call a moto strade bianche – a motorcycle that tackles the country’s network of white gravel roads with aplomb. But Guzzi insiders dismiss any thoughts of a 21-inch front wheel for more serious off-roading: “It’s not in our plans‚” says Piaggio PR Manager Fabio Gilardenghi.    One reason for the sweet steering is the Stelvio’s balance – it’s not just a pretty face‚ but a rational real-world ride too‚ with well-chosen stock suspension settings so that it doesn’t pitch back and forth unduly during hard braking and acceleration. The wind tunnel-developed electrically adjustable windscreen adds comfort on long‚ fast stretches thanks to its 2.8-inch range of height adjustment‚ as well as the effectiveness of the small side flaps that deflected the breeze off my shoulders. In the lowest position‚ airflow over the screen came at my helmet’s chin‚ but there was no buffeting. With the screen fully raised‚ protection was impressive‚ delivering a calm bubble of mostly still air.   Braking on the Stelvio is identical to the Mandello and comes courtesy of Brembo‚ with metal braided hoses and twin 320mm floating front discs gripped by 4-piston monoblock radial calipers‚ with a 280mm rear disc and 2-piston caliper. However‚ the Stelvio’s 5-inch color TFT dash is parked obtrusively in your line of sight‚ and while you eventually get used to the location‚ it looks rather unsightly and impacts visibility unless you sit fully upright in the seat. Having said that‚ the dash is both packed with data and super legible – the central digital speedo and the gear indicator to its right are very easy to see‚ as is the set of menus for configuring ride modes‚ controlling amenities‚ and linking to a smartphone. Navigating the menu system is both simple and intuitive.    The Stelvio has a full LED lighting system with Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and cornering lights. My day’s ride around Liguria on the new Stelvio was certainly fun but frustratingly short‚ as it was just a brief taster of what may very well be the best Moto Guzzi roadbike yet made – one which will appeal to conquest customers from rival brands‚ as well as diehard guzzisti. If you think I’m overstating the case‚ go and book a test ride at an event or your local Moto Guzzi dealer and then tell me I’m wrong. Piaggio’s marketing team knows they need to make the bike available for potential purchasers to try out to have any chance of convincing them of the Stelvio’s excellence. Even more than the Mandello‚ this is a well-engineered step forward into a brave new world for Moto Guzzi‚ which has achieved modernity without sacrificing its traditional qualities and intrinsic customer appeal that were derived from its neo-vintage range of previous models.    The build quality is very high‚ just as the prices are. And this is just the beginning‚ for after the Mandello and the Stelvio‚ there’s apparently a whole series of variants using the same platform already lined up to be launched at the rate of one new model every year for the next few years. After decades of riding Moto Guzzi models that never troubled the competition in a direct shootout but whose deficiencies you were prepared to excuse on the grounds of “character” or “tradition‚” it’s good to see Piaggio has finally come up with the goods by underwriting the development of a potentially class-leading contender in the midsize ADV sector‚ one of the most competitive segments of today’s two-wheeled marketplace.

I had to flashback to this story because I was reminded of it while covering a lady from the Super Bowl last night. Allow me to explain…. So I just got done covering this lady who was standing next to Taylor Swift all night yesterday at the Super Bowl and who many people on Twitter think performed some sort of Satanic Ritual: Is This Taylor Swift’s Buddy Doing a Satanic Ritual? And as bad as that is‚ what possibly even more appalling is her "music". WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC.  CLICK OUT NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS! . . . . Ok‚ here it is....

Oh the irony! But thank goodness we have comedians. I love comedy. Good comedy. But I do have to give a warning.... WARNING: very foul language ahead. Why thought? Why foul language? Well‚ that's actually part of the comedy. And part of the satire. And part of the social commentary. So here's the deal.... This comedian who is apparently named Tom Cotter‚ did a bit about the Woke Virus and Woke Censorship. As comedy always does‚ he cut right to the truth. He pointed out how "Baby It's Cold Outside" got banned due to Woke Culture‚ but "WAP" was the top song played every 10 minutes on the radio. What is WAP? Well....that's where the graphic warning comes in. WAP stands for Wet Ass Pussy‚ and it was blasted all over the radio waves last year. But "Baby It's Cold Outside" was too offensive.

A rare virus first discovered in 2015 has claimed its first victim in Alaska. The rare disease is called “Alaskapox” and claimed the life of a man living in the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. According to the Daily Express‚ Alaskpaox comes from the same genus as boty monkeypox and smallpox. The rare disease was first discovered in small mammals living in Alaska.

He was immunocompromised and is the first known person to die from the Alaskapox virus‚ or AKPV. The health department reported the death in a bulletin Friday. Alaskapox was discovered in the state in 2015 and is related to other orthopox viruses like smallpox‚ cowpox‚ and monkeypox. Epidemiologist Dr. Julia Rogers‚ who works for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is assigned to the Alaska Division of Public Health‚ said the virus primarily infects animals. “Orthopox viruses are zoonotic viruses‚ meaning that they circulate primarily within animal populations with spillover into humans occasionally‚” Rogers said. Rogers said she expects any AKPV infections to remain rare and it’s unlikely someone who is not immunocompromised would die from the virus. She said there’s no evidence of person-to-person transmission. RELATED: Surprise New Illness Hitting Cruise Ships: ‘My puke was bright blue’ Surprise New Illness Hitting Cruise Ships: ‘My puke was bright blue’ A mysterious wave of sickness with some very peculiar symptoms has hit a Florida-based cruise line... Last week‚ multiple passengers onboard a Carnival Elation cruise ship that embarked from Jacksonville‚ FL came down with an unknown sickness. One woman - Miranda Hill from Tifton‚ GA - reported vomiting bright blue puke‚ despite not eating anything blue. She spent half of her cruise trip hooked up to an IV in the ship's infirmary. Other passengers‚ including Hill's friends and members of her boyfriend's family‚ had similar symptoms. Hill claims that one of her friends‚ "threw up a live parasite." Florida cruise passengers sickened by unknown illness: ‘My throw up was bright blue’ https://t.co/yRtRKi5L4J pic.twitter.com/DxJU8oW2Z4 — New York Post (@nypost) January 25‚ 2024 Miranda Hill is still in recovery. She spoke with First Coast News about her experience with the cruise ship illness: Miranda Hill and her boyfriend's family from Tifton‚ Ga. boarded the Carnival Elation last Thursday here at the JAXPORT Cruise Terminal. What Miranda first thought was sea sickness quickly escalated into something more. “My throw up was bright blue and I have never eaten anything blue and every time I look up blue throw up‚ it has to deal with a poisoning‚” she said. Miranda went from spending her vacation by the water‚ to being cared for in the medical infirmary for more than half of the cruise. And she wasn't the only one. She says several of her friends and her boyfriend's family along with other passengers all had similar symptoms. “My friend who I came with‚ she threw up a live parasite‚” Hill added. At this time‚ we don't know for sure what Carnival Cruise is blaming the sickness on the stomach flu. The New York Post reported on Carnival Cruise's response the outbreak: On Monday‚ Carnival Cruise Lines reportedly said people onboard the Elation ship had symptoms of gastroenteritis‚ or the stomach flu. When reached for comment about the incident‚ a Carnival Cruise Lines spokesperson told the Post they “don’t have anything to share” at this time‚ but said the company would provide information when it became available. Miranda‚ who believes she had food poisoning‚ says she and her boyfriend were each given a 95-dollar credit from the cruise line after the ship docked back in Jacksonville. “I just hope they do better‚ they clean their ship‚ they were telling us to wash their hands but who knows if the cooks are washing their hands‚” Hill said.

What is “Disease X”? It’s no surprise that the WHO and the WEF have formalized and endorsed this planning process for future Big Pharma profits‚ with the catchy name “Disease X.” According to the WHO: With fresh warnings from the World Health Organization that an unknown “Disease X” could result in 20 times more fatalities than the coronavirus pandemic...” WEF Plans are Underway This week‚ at the annual World Economic Forum Meeting in Davos‚ the WEF will devote a panel to discuss “novel efforts” needed to prepare the healthcare systems for the multiple challenges ahead.

Is it "horse paste" that could very well kill you? The Ivermectin Freak Out by our Government reminds me of the "War on Drugs" trying to convince you you'd surely die from marijuana -- despite there never being a single confirmed case. Same goes for Ivermectin. They claimed it was “horse dewormer” that could "put you in a coma” or even kill you! How dangerous! Except....that wasn't true. Not even remotely. In fact‚ it is one of the safest and most effective medicines we have. What a combo‚ right? SAFE + EFFECTIVE. You usually get one but not both. IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE SAFE AND LEGAL IVERMECTIN‚ KEEP READING BELOW! Watch this short clip from the Greg Hunter Show‚ posted to Rumble by The Vigilant Fox‚ where Dr. Pierre Kory makes it very clear how stunningly safe Ivermectin is: Safer that aspirin! VigilantNews had more (I put my favorite part in bold): But first‚ a quick look at his impressive credentials. “Pr. Jacques Descotes‚ MD‚ PharmD‚ PhD‚ Professor Emeritus‚ Claude Bernard University of Lyon (France)‚ [is] a world-known toxicologist with a 40-year track [record] as an independent consultant for the pharmaceutical industry as well as an advisor to regulatory bodies worldwide‚” BusinessWire wrote. In March 2021‚ he conducted a review of Ivermectin’s safety profile based on over 350 articles - plus accessible web sources. Here are his conclusions: "Ivermectin has been administered orally to hundreds of millions of people throughout the world in the past three decades. The assessment of reported adverse events temporally associated with Ivermectin exposure shows that Ivermectin-induced adverse effects have so far been infrequent and usually mild to moderate. "It is noteworthy that no deaths have seemingly ever been reported after an accidental or suicidal overdose of Ivermectin. No greater toxicity of Ivermectin has been substantiated in elderly people despite repeated assertions that an ageing blood-brain barrier might lead to increased Ivermectin toxicity level. The positive clinical experience accumulated with Ivermectin administration led many medical experts to break away from early adamant contra-indications in pregnant women. Finally‚ several national pharmacovigilance networks around the world released information and opinions to ascertain Ivermectin safety in human subjects. So far‚ there are no critical safety limitations to Ivermectin prescription in current indications. I also want to point out that no severe adverse event has been reported in dozens of completed or ongoing studies involving thousands of participants worldwide to evaluate the efficacy of Ivermectin against COVID-19." Astonishing. So what would it take to overdose on Ivermectin? “In order to overdose from Ivermectin‚ you have to take either a hundred or a thousand times the standard dose‚” declared Dr. Kory. “And there have been accidental poisonings where people have taken large amounts. But you know what happens every time? When they take these massive amounts of Ivermectin‚ it tends to affect them neurologically. They'll get confused. They might be stumbling — uncoordinated. They go to the hospital‚ and there's no treatment required. But within days‚ the patients return to normal. So‚ there's been no life-ending injuries. No deaths reported with Ivermectin. So‚ that shows you why it's one of the safest drugs in history‚ even at massive overdoses. LOL.....100x and you MIGHT overdose? Wow. If you took 100x the normal glass of water‚ that too could kill you. Literally‚ that's true. No‚ I'm serious....the normal glass of water is 8 ounces‚ right? 8 x 100 = 800 oz. What would happen if you drank 800 oz of water? It would be life-threatening‚ according to ChatGPT: Ok‚ so...to recap: Ivermectin is SAFER than Aspirin and SAFER or on par with Water. AND effective. Incredible. The only thing it isn't?  Profitable for BigPharma Ahhhh‚ now you see why they hated it so much. Safe and effective? NOT liked by the FDA: Have you figured out yet that Government is NOT here to protect you? The SEC... The FDA... Pick whatever agency you want -- they exist to protect Big Banks (SEC)‚ BigPharma (FDA)‚ and on and on and on.... Now back to Dr. Kory‚ here is the full interview if you wanted to see it: Pretty powerful stuff! Want some? Keep reading: Need LEGAL and SAFE Ivermectin? Read This! We just reported yesterday that a new leaked report says airlines are looking to BRING BACK MASKS in October. Yes‚ really. I fully expect a new "planned-demic" will show up right in time for the 2024 election. Oh they might not call it "COVID" again and probably they won't. But I fully expect a new one to hit.
