Scott, I'm the same way. Way to blunt for some.
The biggest problem is forgetting some people who have no mechanical experience even though they might have hidden talents and they really want to learn. just a fact of our times. Dad went to the dealer, accepted second-class work many times because he didn't know any better so most never got to learn. "just try and find somebody to balance car tires right". I took my kid's truck into the GMC dealer for an oil change. It came back 1 1/2 quarts over on oil and 2 quarts low on transmission fluid. So much for the experts! I guess sometimes we have to back up and have a bit more patience. Not easy!

Hey all ! To Scott, all the contributors, Todd, So thankful for this forum, Very recognized and trusted as I am finding out. Advice to other new members like me, If you bought a Guzzi you’re probably a pretty smart individual. Take A breath and think before jumping down a “rabbit hole”! Of questions you probably know the answers to. I rambled on and on With my first post Out of sheer joy of getting my crown jewel bike. Thankfully Scott helped me see that there are real riders and mechanics here with solid answers. I had to settle down, Read different threads, And lighten up! This is the place to be. Take the advice and install what’s suggested. Just look at the bikes they've built. The members knowledge. You have a Guzzi, my opinion from what I’ve seen is they have or will get the answers. And will Back it up . Looking forward to my box of performance , Thanks Scott, All others, and Todd. Ride Safe.
 
Welcome Brian to GuzziTech!

I tell you honestly that this is BY FAR, the very best online motorcycle site. PERIOD.

We just are so lucky that Todd is dedicated to our marque.

You will not find a greater collection of genuine Moto Guzzi enthusiasts, starting with Todd, who has given so much to our small but fearsome collection of riders of the world’s last hand -built motorcycles. His products, advice, and knowledge are incomparable.

The information contained within this site, is the single largest and best organized you will find in the world!

John Zibell, our moderator, is a mechanic God, and many others here, like V700Steve, are indeed, highly-skilled and experienced to expert wrench-spinning mechanics in their own right (from around the world no less). Myself included. Guilty as charged.

Nobody is going to feed you a line of BS, especially in the “Ask the Wrench” forum.

I for one am glad for all the members, old and new. We are a big family here.

True, sometimes it can be just like a family, and it can get “spirited and passionate” at times, but there is NO MALICE here.

Todd and John don’t put up with that (although they do tolerate me which is no small feat :D )

There are also some super wonderful people too like Bill Hagan who’s posts are always a joy to read.

Investigate and explore. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find here.

Again, WELCOME!

Come add to the great “Moto Guzzi” melting pot!
