I used to work at a travel trailer dealership on airstreams when I was a teenager (in 1969). In the late 1970's early 1980's, I drove a Checker Cab in Boston, full time. Not often does one get to take a pic like this!  ;D



Park St., Boston, Mass one early spring day. I go in to Boston a lot.

After seven years as a member of the NE Ohio Moto Guzzi Club, I thought it was about time to buy one of the dammed things. 2001 Jackal. Picked it up 18 April.

My 2004 Breva, apparently the only silver one Guzzi ever made - everybody else seems to have red ones, with the occasional black one thrown in.  Pretty much stock, other than the obvious accessories, the seat, and a few odds and ends, not visible, intended to make it more comfortable, more practical, or safer - no go-faster tweaks, it can go faster than I can as it is.  A simple, sweet, well-mannered ride, everything I want in a motorcycle (well, apart from the seized gearbox ....)

My '81 CX100. I built it from a basket case. A couple of mysteries: Why the Eldo valve covers? I love 'em, and have no idea why the p.o. had them. Note the LMI tank. That generic aftermarket bikini fairing has been removed, with a LMI fairing taking its place. I've replaced the clip-ons with low tubular bars, and am in the process of swapping out the cast wheels for spoked Borranis. The bike runs great, and will be at the National in June.

Still working on it.  Probably won't go much more on the black.  Would like a set of different mufflers though.

Hey Bill,
What happened to your other front brake on that EV ?

Hey Bill,

The wheels were swapped with a 2000 Jackal before I bought it last September. I traded my T and a couple of grand for it. Mph tweaked it before I left for the Gaggle. Great running machine, I've added a few items for touring (seat, highway pegs, bar risers and a Laminar Lip. I just have a few more try out adjustments with the Lip. I kinda like the single front brake myself. 
See you down the road.
Bill

The Hooligan Bike and the Coyote Killer (Pete hit a coyote on this bike two years ago, Nevada 1, Coyote 0)


EV and the Hooligan getting ready to head home from SoCal:



Have another Nevada and a new V7 Classic in the garage.  Also have a 98 V11 EV, but its still up at the previous owners house (haven't had a chance to pick it up yet).

Gonna have to get a Guzzi Lineup shot one of these day.  How many MG's does it take to qualify for a rally?  ::) ;D ;D

My and my 2007 Bellagio:







Ex: dealer demo bike which I traded my Breva 750 in for after 2 years of ownership because my dealer kept letting me use this when mine went in for service and I became addicted!

Great bike, comfortable, torquey, plenty fast enough and copes well with the British winters.

I've added an MG screen, hot grips (+ handlebar muffs in the winter), MG tank bag and upgraded the horn to twin Stebel Magnums.

This is my favorite thread, bar none, of all time :)

I could spend hours looking at your beautiful Guzzis.  However, I cannot compete with these clean and shiny examples, so I will just post a picture of my '98 EV in it's nasty mode.

Now, if I could find this hot dog trailer, posted recently by Comendatore, I would have a great photo op. ;D

Long time lurker, but now that I've almost got this back on the road, I feel qualified to post

'78 T3





Better part of the last half of my summer was spent working late nights on this, trying to figure out why the alternator wasn't charging...ran every test my dad and I could think of, plus everything in the Guzziology and from here.  Had to take a break when I went back to school for the winter and managed to snap a banjo  :o  ... replacements are in though, and I finally figured out that we'd wired up the rectifier wrong :-[  so with any luck I'll be out this weekend!

some newer pics:
