BB TONTI REGISTRY and pic thread

Hi I am English, I came to Germany soon after retiring and now live here. I celebrated my 77th Birthday in April by buying a 2006 California Classic, 1100cc. This is not my first Guzzi, my first ever motorbike was a T3 which I bought around 1975, Reg no. MHT 40, this was followed by a SPII bought from Oxford Motorcycle Engineers, then a break to other makes until I bought a SPIII at Conway Motorcycles, which I sold shortly before coming to Germany. I did my first Rally with the Moto Guzzi club in Matlock, followed by various other trips including Shaftesbury. As well as riding, I enjoyed tinkering, tuning and adding accessories.

A gift from my brother. I went to buy it, and he told me to just take her. 1980 1000SP. Just got the hardware for the lowers this AM, so they'll be going on. Kind of at a loss here. I'm really fussy about paint, but I'm thinking I like this old crusty girl showing her age. Opinions?
