New Guzzi
« on: April 04, 2024, 04:17:52 PM »
Well to me anyway, a 1990 one owner from new Le Mans 5, just over 4k miles and looks as good as the day the original owner bought it. Very happy to add this to my small collection

That's amazing for an over 30 year old bike.
Must have been kept in controlled environment.
It will turn heads.  Congratulations.

Congrats on the bike.  Best way to ride it long distance.  Slide your butt to the bum stop and rest your chin on the tank bag.   :thumb:

Not really a rider.  Probably couldn't handle the weather and limited riding season where you're at.  Easier with the gear that's available now.  Heated gear etc or changed your location.
