My first Guzzi purchase (a 2003 V11 Le Mans) involved a 1700+ mile fly n ride from Florida back to the Toronto area, where I lived at the time.  Other than the seller, who was a great guy, the first person in the Guzzi community that I met was none other than Guzzi Steve, who was then wrenching at Rider's Hill, in GA.  What a great first impression he made, and that hasn't changed over the years.  So, here I still am, 15 years later, having just purchased my 10th Moto Guzzi, and still enjoying the best community of riders that I have ever encountered.

Enjoy the ride!

Cheers,
Shaun

Thank you! I have read articles of Lurch from the time it was built and raced, but this gave plenty of new information  :thumb:

I almost bought a new TR1 in 1983, but being young and less sensible, I bought a Seca 750 instead. They carried the same price tag.

Rotella would be fine and normally a good price. Mobil 1 should be good as well if that's your preferred brand.

Bike gets Syn Rotella or Valvoline. 2014 F100 gets Mobil 1 for trucks rather than cars (probably the same stuff in a different bottle at the same price), but normal zinc levels due to Cats.

Consider this an official envious report filing.

There is no requirement for a response at this time, but the situation could change at any moment.

I'm not that old yet, gave a fair amount of Guzzi people their 1st taste. Most all MGNOC guys do that nothing new!! I am so glad NOT everyone rides a Guzzi.
I find my EV to be pretty effortless & relaxing, might see ya in NC

Catalytic converters are supposed to run hot - they're burning up unburned fuel from the combustion process.

Be careful and mindful of that - remember it get really hot down there. I recall a BMW rider pulling off the road into some weeds. They caught fire and burned up the bike.
