That's just amazing  ---- 60 million people, and only 20 Guzzi dealers!
Don't know if it's much different elsewhere in Europe.

Having ridden in all of those places, it's safe to say that folks in Jersey, Guernsey and IoM have more free spending money than Scotland or Northern Ireland--I can't imagine owning an Aston Martin in Guernsey (with its uniformly restrictive speed limits), but they're surprisingly common.

Twiggers are the main people for getting the 8v rollers done. The owner/mechanic was quick off the mark to realise the real problems and starting fitting rollers to all engines that came his way.
They are  not big on bike sales, with a small showroom but the workshop is huge which suits me fine.

done.

I'm struggling with addresses.  Some have county codes (which seem to be outdated per the post office) and others list multiple regions beyond the local town.  I used (and sorted by) regions that seemed mostly consistent, or at least commonly known.  Ah well, the mail evidently does get through.

revised to now sort by region (then city) instead of shire (or postal county).  I'm not sure it's better--some addresses still list shires that don't even exist anymore.  It looks like between 1960 and 2000 the U.K. changed many of the regional borders and names.  Anyway,  I guess there aren't so many that it's not easy enough to find what you want.  These match Michelin Map practice.

Alas Twiggers have now stopped selling Guzzis, they are still an authorised service centre & parts supplier though.

It sounds like we should still keep them on the list, then--that is, until they stop servicing Guzzi.

Very useful post. To get the information from the Moto Guzzi website necessitates a county by county search. And the British Moto Guzzi Riders forum doesn't give the information. It would be good if you could post your map there.
Oldbike54, look again at the map. neither Scotland nor Wales are in England. All three are part of the United Kingdom. That's why it's the "United Kingdom." The three are share the island, just as Argentina and Alaska share the rather larger island that is the continent of the Americas.

noted

Colchester piaggio...and...Mto techniks
added

A request to those living in the U.K.:  I'm using the official UK Region names, but it's a challenge when some addresses include only the older names (Devon, for instance, instead of South West).  If you see any that I've got wrong, shoot me a note an I'll fix it.

Paul at Corsa is the lad who fixed my "dead" Guzzi in 2014 when I buggered it up the day before departure. Now I stay with them every year when I ship my bike over to Europe. Absolute gem of a person, would do anything for him.
