Didn't think you lived where the map said. ;D

Hope your house survived OK. Not much left of the township from what I can tell. You OK for power/water/sewerage?

Our area has survived both earthquakes pretty well so far; one wee crack in the lounge ceiling and a popped nail.

I too am waiting on the Mana bar setup.... ordered mine on 24 Nov 2010 from Speedaway UK.... they are waiting on lower U Bolts from the Guzzi factory.

Just as well I love my bike..... I hate waiting...... ~;

Still wouldn't trade it on anything, best bike ever.

Stretch45, glad to hear you are OK. Best of luck to you.

Now I'm curious as to when the lower U bolts will make it to Arizona! (and New Zealand).

Cindy painted them for me, that's Harley black crackle engine paint. She sprayed about three coats on them.

That's a really good cross-section of Moto Guzzis.   A little bit of everything depending on your mood!

Mine are a little different.  Bags and shield on the Cali.  Eldo/Ambo bare.  V11 Sport bare but you're right. 

Those 3 plus a Quota/Stevio would cover the  spectrum.

 At the risk of jinxing the deal, I'm working on picking up a 04 Breva 750, and an 98 Centauro. I have not found a Quota yet that I've  had the hots for. Still looking for her though. ;-T P:) I've even thought about adding a Robin for the grandkids to bang around on in the yard. Hookem early.  Worked for Phillip Morris.  ;) :D

Where did you get your supersized tank and if I may be so bold as to ask how much did it cost?

 New 1998 Centauro.  Diamonde Nero










Other new 1998 Centauro. Calabrone



The deal on the B750 fell through over price, so I added Diamonde Nero in to the flock instead of the little Breva.  Now I would like to find a nice Nevada to add to the flock.

If I had a choice, I'd go for the Centauro any day over a B750 - this killer bike is on my short list for the day I add a BB to my flock  ;D   You still have time to add the SB  ;)
Apologies to the SB community, but liking and loving SB's does not make me dislike BB's by any means.

Why should you apologise for liking a beautiful motorcycle?There's no rule that says one can only like a particular Guzzi engine. My preference is for my Norge; but I also liked the 750 Breva that my wife rode.

Since this is the picture thread, I guess I ought to put up a picture of my Norge



It won best in class in the Modern Sport-Touring category at John Day. (it was the only bike entered!)

The Norge is a beautiful bike too and perfect for touring I recon.
I have to admit, that the BB's that really speak to me are the Centauro, Daytona, 8V Griso and Bassa's.

I sourly like the 1000S too.

One of these BB's will likely find its way to my stable once upon a time.

Ciao and a great weekend.
Summer has hit this region.
