    Hello from Germany Cologne

    Willkommen, Sedar.Best wishes on finding the Guzzi that fits your needs.My own view is that the V85 (mine is a '22 Guardia) is the best all-around motorcycle I've ridden.I also have a V7 II Stornello. What a spunk rascal that little beast is. For my mdest off-pavement uses, it does not...

    V7 II and V7 III

    I have owned both (and still have the Stornello, a II), but can't recall.As you are a GT Contributor, aren't those on-line here in the resources section?And, yes, I could look up those, to, but I am being told by HQ's that I have other tasks pending. ;)Bill

    Bonjour à tous

    Laurent,Apprivoiser?Pourquoi, je suis obligé de vous demander, voudriez-vous apprivoiser une moto, et encore moins une Guzzi, et encore plus une V100 ?Plus sérieusement, même si je comprends que Charles Quint, empereur du Saint-Empire romain germanique, a dit un jour (à juste titre, selon...

    I need help from the Forum!

    Dave,First and obviously, concerns for your condition and kudos for your "attitude."As for your quest, not much to add. Have been to that Moto-Mecca several times, but only once did I get pix. Doh.Anyway, here's one. Two others available, but those show little more and have no ladies...

    Embedded image warning

    I might have agreed with "including" rather than "especially." :giggle:I assure you that I have met my share of that sort in the legal profession, but think the percentage of "DB's" is not significantly higher in that set than society as a whole. YMMV. Idf so, apologies from this lawyer.I...

    First post

    I knew where Galicia is -- tho I've never been there except in a silver tube at 33K feet! ;) -- but just took a closer look in "Terrain" on Google maps.Sure seems you have some fine topography for great riding on your V7. :clap:BillEDITED TO ADD ... Just read about the disastrous flooding...

    The GarageMahalo Morphed into the Moto Grappa

    I’m with @Lannis on this.That said, it’s not as if we do not have winter, even in comparison with points north.No, thankfully, not so long nor so harsh, but it gets cold enough for me. Based on our heating bills — unless we have company, we keep our home medieval-castle cold — we could...

    The GarageMahalo Morphed into the Moto Grappa

    FWIW, I finally caved in with my man cave, and added a mini-split that heats and cools the c.700 SF insulated area in a grand way.Actually, my ever-indulgent bride insisted I do that. :inlove:It is only as I write this that I realize that she may have intended that to keep my retired self...

    Checking oil level: the finer points of dipping

    This thread proves reincarnation is real ... at least on the internet! :rofl:The only thing I'll add after this latest from @tubz is this pic taken in Erie a few years ago.It shows what I have found to be the most effective means of keeping my Stornello upright so I can check the oil level...

    URGENT !!!

    Todd's point about the dealer -- regrets you have issues with yours -- is likely the only definitive answer, but FWIW, I post two pix here.Not sure how a 1400's "URGENT" corresponds to a V85's "ALARM SERVICE," but FWIW ...The first pic shows the warning that scared me feceless when my V85...

    Corsica & Sardinia on Guzzis

    I’ll spare you the “Buon giorno” and similar affectations of many who have just returned from Italy or wherever. 🙄I got back a few days ago from a motorcycle tour — on Moto Guzzis, of course 😄🇮🇹🏍️ — of France’s Corsica and Italy’s Sardinia. I mentioned going some time back in another thread...

    Hallo aus Deutschland

    Welcome, Klaus.You have considerable experience with Moto Guzzis.I note that you have been a member here since 2017, but just made your first post. That may be a record.Most here do not speak German. I do, at least in reading, but -- as my awkward response here illustrates -- still use...

    SSR XX

    Hmmmmm.Thought I'd said that in one of my captions, but will add if not.Dx was "Intersection Syndrome." See,e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_syndromeI was concerned that if I were to ride it back 600 or so miles that I would risk not healing in time for my Guzzi tour of...

    SSR XX

    .These are pix of a recent ride to a small Moto Guzzi gathering — the South’n Spine Raid (“SSR”) — at Tellico Plains, Tennessee, earlier this month.This was the 20th SSR, and, as with the previous events, great fun. I did not search, but pretty sure I have posted about this event before...

    Edge Trim

    .I had a V7 III and still have a II. I am not in my Moto Grappa stable just now, but do not even recall seeing such an item.That said, a similar thing on my Norge's tank kept coming off. Annoyed me no end.As with many bits & pieces of the fastener and other sort, went here -- which I...

    Ride Chat in VA

    Apologies for the delay in responding tp your wondering about when we might be in your AO.Typical BS of excuses, but one good one is that a friend rode down from Rochester on his EV just to do it. Happily, while here for a couple of days, he also helped me install a new side stand on my V85...
