Just got it firing!
Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, as I am a new member here and a new friend of a 2013 V7 Racer.
I have spent the last few years on my 07 BMW 650X Challenge, jaunting over mountain passes, hauling donkey down dirt roads, exploring this great country's roads that are less traveled.
A few months ago I set out on a search for a second steed, one to enjoy on the twisties and to commute to the factory on. Having the means to take my hot wifey for a scoot was an added bonus that I was looking forward to also. I wanted a motorbike with character, with a soul that I could feel, something unique that would light up a smile on my face each and every ride.
While browsing curiously through the Guzzi website, my mouth began to drool when I saw the Racer. I had to see one in person. After a quick phone call to my nearest Guzzi palace, I was informed that they only had one left, and that a gent was planning on coming to see it in the next day or two. I was johnny-on-the-spot at the dealership the next morning. I drank my coffee and ate my bagel on their front step before they opened. Test rode the motorbike and came back with a grin bigger than my head. Sold sold sold I sang! Gave the dealer some greenbacks and took it home.
Holy crap gents, in all of my bike riding days why I did not experience this type of sick lust before is unacceptable! Anywhere I go this sweet Italian steed gets more interest than a three legged cat in front of a pack of hungry dogs.
To say that this puppy is a hoot to ride is an understatement. I feel like a fine-tuned cafe racer on this Italian stallion, and I am a goober in real life!
I'll be back with some ride reports, after my journey's this summer. We'll see the French Colonies in Canada, the west coast, UP and coasts of Michigan, and a couple brewery runs here and there when possible.
Looking forward to learning more about Guzzi's and your love for them!
