Founded March 15, 1921

Today I will ride my Racer and my Griso

And think about a Quota.  And a green/black 1000S, and dream you could buy one for $10K.  And the new V85TT.

2017 Griso
2016 Stornello
2000 Red Quota
Want a black/green 1000S big valve :)

Any word out yet on what maybe happening at Mandello dell Lario for the 100th ? Looking at saving up for the trip over to Italy.

How dramatic that they would start an Italian business on the Ides of March.

  I'm also thinking about a trip for the 100th. Are you shipping your bike over or making other plans?

Happy Birthday indeed.
I got a ride in on Friday, only the commute to work though!
Reckon she ran a wee bit better than normal too!
Then again it was probably down to the single digit temps.
She does like cool weather.
Not far off the 100 now.
Cheers Guzzler

Auguri!!!

Would make it part of a holiday to Italy and Croatia etc so no would not be shipping bike.
 
I know that Moto Guzzi will be 100 on March 2021 but really hoping that the celebrations would be held when the weather is in double digits. What month did they hold the 90th?

Good question on the date of actual celebration. I'm thinking of going over for a few months on "walkabout" and am currently investigating whether to buy over there or ship over. Anyone have experience on shipping versus buying over there?

 Unless someone else takes over , the WG National will remain in Cedar Vale KS . Centrally located , good park and facilities , especially now with the new restroom facilities , and a wonderful working relationship with the little village .
