Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone effected in this horrific disaster.

Gidday to you all,
I'm the second owner of a 2023 V85TT Travel, E5 compliant, with around 9000km (5000 miles) on the odo. I'm 71 years old, and have adopted the Guzzi because it feels comfortable and user friendly after 50+ years of continuous motorcycling, mostly on fast Ducatis. I got hooked into the retro thing when I recently bought my wife a Triumph Street 400, and found myself admiring her bike more than mine. The last Guzzi owned was a V7 Café 15 years ago, with the best looking (and slowest) of the 744cc V-twins. I put Ikon shocks and a full Zard exhaust on that bike and it sounded way faster than it went. There were five motorcycles in the garage back then, so there were always speedier alternatives available. That V7 was flawed but fun. First impressions of the V85 are that there's less of the flaws but the potential for grin-cracking riding pleasure remains. Cheers, Paul
 
Congrats and welcome to the GT Forum. Hope you'll next add your info to our Registry below. Be sure to see my work for flaws and power in the V85TT section below. Enjoy the site, and also be sure to read all of the paragraphs at the top. Enjoy.
