well I've donated of course, to both, but I'd love to buy something as well... problem is, I have the whole GTM catalog on my bike!
my next bike will either be a V85 or a new Stelvio, but only if GTM is still operating. without Todd to email for support, I wouldn't buy a fuel-injected Guzzi.

Thanks again to all. Donations are slowly but steadily trickling in. I am trying to thank each one, but I'm still overwhelmed with daily requests/demands both for my home and customers. Every $ is MUCH appreciated, via the site here and/or GoFundMe. I have no idea as to when I can even begin to start the reassembly process, but every day adds a long list of to-do items to simply get things cleared as to insurance hurdles, which I have yet to receive even a penny from. Every day brings a gut-punch to one more thing that I remember is now gone. A big one is a large outdoor illuminated Guzzi sign bought from a local defunct dealer. Not even a trace of it left.
I am sorry, Todd. I am sure it is gut wrenching.
I keep looking for the dreadful post that says you're shutting down the Forum.
It's a b*itch to keep the faith right now. More power to you for hanging in there.

Thanks again for the slow trickle of donations.
Perhaps buy a shirt or two from the Store linked below if you can't bring yourself to throw a few $'s my way without getting something in return. It's looking like I will be winding my shop down, and only taking on current/private clients who appreciate my work. More as I have it.

Count me in as one of the people who truly appreciate your work.
I found a few items to order from the store. I hope you can find a way to keep the store and forum going. I have learned so much from this forum since joining in 2021 so I want to say THANK YOU. I am truly sorry for your loss and can only guess how busy you are dealing with insurance and physical clean up of the site. I wish there were more I could do to help beyond contributions to this site.
So sorry for your loss. Just no words for this. I bought something from the store I really don't need right now so take your time with it. Every little bit helps, right? Kicked in to the GoFundMe too. Best wishes for life getting back to normal as soon as possible. Hang in there.
Well said, GerryAZ!
I just bought a spare brake lever for my 1400 and a spare fuel filter with clamps. Ever see a bike with a broken brake lever? That's why. Ounce of prevention. If there was a clutch lever I would snag that, too. You never know.
Just send a few bucks through the site...I hope it helps.
Thank you a ton! Yes, every $1 sure helps. Inventory clearance coming soon, as things aren’t looking good.
"Truly appreciate your work" Absolutely, every time I ride my V7 850.
Wishing you the best.
Wishing you the best.
So sorry to hear this, Todd! Just made a donation. You are appreciated!
Relative newcomer here but I did make a donation via the forum recently and I just ordered the PC-6/AT300/GTM 5AM/7SM ECU Flash fit for my 2020 Cali 1400 Touring. I know I will benefit greatly but I hope Todd will in some small way also by this purchase. I hope others here will kick in with donations or purchases as well. Not just to preserve this great asset to the Guzzi family but to also help a fellow human in need. Thanks to Todd who even as a newcomer to this forum I can see has been and is instrumental to our enjoyment of the Moto Guzzi line of bikes.

So sorry to read about this . I'll keeo you in my thoughts and prayers 
12 months ago I was at a Speedway meeting & recieved urgent calls to go home ( 2 hours away )
My farm machineery shed / workshop had burnt down . Not nearly as bad as loosing your house.
Although still deverstating to me. About A$ 400,000 - Tractotors , 4 Wheelers . Tools [ dad's, Granddads ] & many that can never be replaced including Sprintcar tools , Antique furniture & memorabilia . Like you grosly underinsured.
Still trying to recover finacially & mentally. Thats the worst mentally .
So take care of you & yours. Reach out if you have to. I have
I suppose a couple of good things about my fire. No one was hurt . All the good cars & my Guzzi were in another shed. And it missed my house. Lucky , I think , it was pooring with rain at the time
Take care

Todd - sent another donation. Hang in there!
Todd...
You have a million dollars or more worth of information on this website. Thanks to you, John Z, Scott M, and other contributors (arigato, senseis), this site is just f'ing premier.
Has it occurred to you to charge a subscription fee? I send in $10/month via PayPal. Others could do the same. FFS. Weed out the ingrates. Why TF should you give it all away? YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY!
Pardon me speaking my mind.
Thanks Pete, I have been entertaining that now lately. Maybe make all of the site viewable to the public, but if you want to ask questions, view images or download anything, require a fee. I know the haters will surface on this; I had one accusational post here saying they were filing a complaint with Piaggio on me "pay-walling" manuals here. People can be dense. That is on top of costing me thousands in attorney fees when Piaggio tried to shut me down. The hits just keep coming.
On the fire note, I still have no idea or timeline on even getting my property cleared. I hope to return after the next rains to try and see if any of my metal hand tools survived, though the fire destroyed whole motorcycles in my garage, so I have little hope.
Donations have ceased, so if you're reading this for the first time, site donations here or GoFundMe MUCH appreciated.
