Here are a couple of pictures of my 'new' 750S. I've added bar end mirrors and some indicators which can actually be seen in daylight and from the side.

I've gradually been increasing the length and duration of my rides as I gain confidence in the bike. So far it has been impressively reliable and great fun. On my third ride I managed to attract the attention of the police, getting caught at 112kph in an 80. Fortunately the nice lady OPP liked the bike and took pity on an old grey haired geezer on an old clunker, and only gave me the minimum fine.

I can hardly believe the difference between the 750S and the Eldorado. While the Eldo loves to bumble along at about 3000 rpm in top gear, the 750S isn't really happy below 4000, and prefers to be in 4th gear at normal (legal) road speeds - all the while sounding like a WW2 fighter. Fabulous!

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.

Yep. Well, and an old horizontal 500 single of some type .... !

And a small block! Don't forget the small block.

My '06 Breva near the Victoria/New South Wales border.

The Southern Cloud was our first major airline disaster in 1931. She wasn't found until 1958.

Yeah, I just couldn't stand the look of the stock ones either. Put Mana bars on mine.

So many really nice old guzzies on this thread. Mine is not so old but I think it will age gracefully. A 2007 1200 Sport...

Despite his best efforts, Mr. Beaver's recent construction was overshadowed by an elegant motorcycle.

Local township workers cut out a 10 foot section to drain his pond. He had it repaired by the following morning.

Hi Al

Certainly looks like Saddleworth where I do a lot of cycling, but the pic was taken at the Tan Hill Inn last week.

What is that front Guzzi? I think I'm confused by the dash?

Tan Hill Pub - April 2010 while hiking the Pennine Way. Could they possibly be the same sheep?

A perfect weekend of sunny winter weather here, so I put some miles under the Guz and took the opportunity to take some pictures of it too.

Here we are with the Hawkesbury River in the background.

Thanks mate. Very kind of you to say so! Here's another, from earlier in the day. Note the spanky new centre stand!

So how's the T3 coming along? We need to get together for a ride 8)

SB's always makes my heart beat - nice V50/III ;-T - just going through mine - looks like it just came of the assembly line on the inside.

My 1988 Cali 3,had it since March this year, previous owner had it 18 years and rode it to Mandello,Spain and most of the rest of Europe. 70,000 miles, still pulls like a train,and when I eventually got the oily crud ,that was keeping it preserved , off,not in bad nick.
Not my first Guzzi, I had both T3 cali and Sport 1100 a few years back,but strayed to other makes,realised my mistake and returned. Not the best looking Guzzi,but the fairing certainly works.

Hello,

I'm new here. From the Netherlands. This is my ride. Like to share it with you. I'm following this forum for quit a while now and i thought it was time to post a picture myself. Nice to know that there are Guzzi fanatics in the USA just like in our little country. ;-T

This new Breva is really nice! I wish I had chosen it over the Nevada three years ago.
