VIN: ZGULDUA21JM000007 @malenpaul Maynard, MA. 2018 Moto Guzzi Rough V7iii D.O.P 12/19 at Seacoast Sport Cycles
Hello Guzzi Forum, Just wanted to put up some pictures of my new V7III Rough I got Just before Christmas. Haven't broken 100 miles and already made some minor mods. The picture with the Indian was taken on January 1 2019 in New England.
Okay, VIN is ZGULWUB16GM200034, I am @itripped on instagram, I'm in Vancouver, BC and while I bought it new, I can't really recall the exact date of purchase.
Hi all. I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Guzzi for some time now. Other bikes I have/had include Kawi triples, FZR 400, Bultaco flattrack, EX500 road race bike, and lots of dirt bikes. But this is my first Itallian, and my first brand new bike:
2017 VIII Racer
VIN ZGULDUB04HM00137
#396/1000
Purchased yesterday! (2/8/19)
I suspected this would be the bike for me at this stage in my riding life (I'm not 20 anymore, and I needed a bike that won't tempt me to keep riding like I'm 20 And the ride home confirmed it! Rides great, love the torque/sound/feel, power is about right to keep me riding mellow, and its beautiful to my eyes!
Been reading the forum the last few weeks, and have already got some great ideas for upgrades. My plans:
Ditch the big, heavy pipes. Looking at Todd's full system, but am torn between 2-2 or 2-1. Any opinions on which sounds/performs better? I'm leaning towards the 2-1, but I haven't found any pics of the right side of the bike to see how it looks without a pipe on that side If anybody has a pic, I'd love to see it.
Revove Evap/air injection, etc
New fuel filter
ECU flash
Fender eliminator kit
Drop forks 10-20 mm (bike sits a little high in the front, and though I'm happy with how it rides, I wouldn't mind for the steering to be a touch quicker...
I'm looking forward to talking to you all (especially Todd) to share ideas and our mutual love for these bikes. Also would love to meet/go on a ride with those who are in SoCal. Do folks still meet at the Rock Store or elsewhere every month or so?
Thanks Steve, and welcome to the GT Forum & Guzzi Famiglia!
We had been gathering momentum on the Rock Store Sunday, but the fires and rains put a huge road block up (literally and figuratively). Happy to meet anyone there, as weather and conditions allow.
D.O.P 9/15/18 from Hamlin Cycles, VIN ZGULDU017JM000022, living in New Haven, CT. Glad to have found this website. These forums are a gold mine of information, and I plan on buying quite a bit from your store

I have sold the bike to a lucky guy named Bill Mobley from Green bay Wisconsin. Enjoy it Bill and happy riding. Hopefully if he's not on this forum he will join. Thanks Todd and everyone for advice along the way. Cheers
