Wondered how long it would take for you to get bored with retirement.
Next time for me is the last time!
If I ever win the lottery, Todd is getting the first call I make.Thanks, this isn't a money thing, this is a passion thing.
Hope I can find a few guys a year that want the ultimate Guzzi. We're building a 1380cc motor now to have ready for the next buyer, and the one to follow will be 1440cc with Carrillo rods.

I'll be making that phone call to the lottery office FROM Todd's shop. :-D
GTM-02.2 debuted at the OG Moto Show in L.A. on Saturday 3/23. This is the first of our in-house built GTM frames... bring your own CARC Guzzi ride in/out conversions all the way up to walk in/ride out full turnkey builds. More info on it soon.
Quite honestly, the most beautiful motorcycle I've ever seen. I look forward to seeing one of your creations in person some day Todd. 30 plus years ago, I saw in person my first Guzzi at the Toronto Motorcycle show (at the time, no Guzzi dealers in Canada and maybe North America???). I fell in love with V-twin sticking out of the frame - most people that day came by that bike and made comment after comment how ugly it was...I thought to myself, they don't get it...Now, you've taken that love for that V-twin further! It is amazing. Congrats on finishing it!
Todd,
Absolute masterpiece! Well done my artistic and skillful friend....
Thank you for a glimpse of your obvious passion in building on to a very, very solid platform. Of which I happily, happen to own myself.

Thanks Adam. Doing what I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. This build is one I’ve had in my head since I rode a Confederate Hellcat almost twenty years ago thinking... if only it had a Guzzi motor in it. Now I have one. I have some more tricks to show... and yes you do have a solid platform, however this one is from my ‘09 Stelvio which shared the same motor with the Griso that year. Stay tuned.
Can't wait to here this beast roar.

Well Done!
Todd,
Is a matter of getting the fueling right to how you are able to loose the oil cooler on the side? And once again, wow what a machine!

Yes, and thanks(!). Corrected fueling can drop the running temp ~40d F. Only in the hottest of climates in stop and go traffic might it be a slight issue. Neither of those apply to those here in the Southwest US, and northern regions it’s less of an issue. More so not letting the oil get up to temp is a bigger issue for most.
Last one here as there seems to be little interest. Hope to see a handful of you at the Handbuilt Show in Austin next weekend. We’re taking GTM-01 & GTM-02.2 (below).

WOW!!!
Hey Todd, I'm VERY interested. Unfortunately the powers-that-be haven't given me winning lottery ticket numbers. and the Nigerian prince isn't returning my calls.
Seriously though, the GTM builds look truly stunning, and the performance, sounds, etc, on the video's ..... If I had the money I would definitely be knocking at your door.
