    Greetings from Carson City Nevada area

    Good morning all, I just caught the tidbit about the MGNOC and the Rally in Dayton. I will definitely be there. So glad I joined this forum. Amazing how much knowledge and help is available in here. I must admit I’m anti social media, I’ve never delved into mySpace, twitter or the rabbit hole of...

    V85tt engine swap to V7iii

    Hey all. I’m curious about the differences between the above mentioned. I want to know what are the similarities and differences and if I can swap parts directly across the engines.

    Took my V85TT on a few trails in search of a Brew....

    Moto Guzzi V85 TT | Zard Exhaust Install

    My Moto Guzzi V85 TT is lovely, but out the box it is a bit quiet, so I got hold of a Zard titanium slip-on silencer, it looks great and is a decent weight saving too. With the baffles it is very inoffensive, so should keep the noise police happy too! :D

    One Of My Favourite Green Lanes Has Been Ruined...

    Wolvens Lane in Surrey used to be amazing on a dualsport bike, but now it has been wrecked. The Moto Guzzi V85 TT took it all in it's stride though! :D

    I recently discovered I have a Moto Guzzi dealership a lot closer to me than the other 2 I would normally use, which was a perfect excuse to take a demo on the lovely V85TT :-)
