Show me your Guzzi - Not Safe for Dial Up

[IceBlue]

My 'new' SP III. I love it! I imported it from Netherlands and it was the 3rd I saw when I was
trying to buy it. It seems alot of these are popular to be café'd.
It will be my daily drive but not during the winter months. It is in quite good condition for 37+K.
there are some scratches in the fairings and the panniers are terrible to look at but functional. I
have a new set of fairings and tank I will refurbish and paint a brilliant red colour. Has anyone
done any painting of the original Givi bags? I'd like them in the same colour  8)

Nice SP Adam ;-T

It should turn a few heads in Copenhagen  ;) ...and even more if you lifted her "skirt"  :o :o ;D ;)

Ciao

Tea Racer - I love it.  What were the light mods and the exhaust?

The led light from the eBay, with integrated flashing. The exhaust own planning, Hungarian hand made product.

And of course you get the question:  Who makes that?

I had that happen at the airport yesterday.  I was visiting a friend's hangar and one of the techs commented "nice bike, who makes it?".  When I replied "Moto Guzzi" he returned "Is it French?"

Last week a guy said to me "Those Irish sure make a cool motorcycle" LOL maybe he was thinking Mot O'Guzzi?  :D

Love the tail light.  How 'bout some info? 

[bcbigelow]

Can you tell us where to find the head
guards shown on your rosso corsa?

[BPRM]

Love the tail light.  How 'bout some info? 

The tail light is just an off the shelf one for a trailer. I wrapped it with sheet metal and riveted it at the bottom. Then I turned a ring out of aluminum and polished it, epoxied it all together and then radius the back on a belt sander. The side covers were made from sheet aluminum and front turn signal piece from bar stock.

That is a VERY cool first post! ;-T  Welcome.

Cool pix. ;-T  Like the fog effect.  I took this one in July on Saddle Road, Big Island, Hawaii at the 6K ft. elevation of my Nero Corsa.

My new V7 Classic



I've had it for four weeks now and have a little over a thousand miles on it.
I previously had  a Breva 750 that was totaled after a car pulled out in front of me last Oct.

Faithfull to the small blocks - I like that  ;-T

All that makes me happy in one photo, perfect!

[pentrich1]

Finally got a good picture of the black dog AND figured out how to upload (?) it.  Obviously mine is the 1200Sport and not it's cross-eyed friend.



Pic taken at 2010 Ruptured Budgie Rally (Qld. Guzzi Club) on Biker's Island, Mingoola NSW. Thanks to the unknown photographer.

The dog is now nearly 3 years old (Feb 07 built, bought June 07) and comes up surprisingly well in the pic considering it has now done 56,000kms.  

It's a fairly standard 2V/Cyl apart from Hepco & Becker crash bars and Protaper Pastrana handlebars.  Also got the factory hard bags and luggage rack but no top box.  Another incredibly useful extra is the SW-Motec tank bag.  I got the smallest in the range (Daypack II).  It has power supplied to it and does not touch the tank anywhere but sits on a fuel cap ring attachment and just clicks on and detaches by simply pulling a string so no fueling problems.  I also use an Airhawk cushion which I find very kind to my bony butt.

Now fitted with Spaceclams excellent adjustable footpegs.

I love the thing but sometimes wonder why when it's driving me crazy with electrical gremlins.

 

Im hoping to move to Australia (possibly NSW) in the coming years, and would like to ship my Guzzi's with me from the UK.  What is the Owners Club setup like over there?  Im looking forward to not worrying about corrosion as much....happy days!

You'll look back on that comment and laugh (unless you're going to live with the 15% of Aussies who aren't within a 1/2 hour of the coast).

[pentrich1]

Yeah good point but in the UK most people are close to the sea (it's a very small island) and the roads are covered in salt in winter too....Im hoping to be an hour and a half inland too - fingers crossed!

[goog64]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the salt!

[IceBlue]

Nice - congrats!
I have a neighbor with two Nimbus's - his dream is a Guzzi Convert...

[Sheepdog]

Very cool.  Please keep us informed with your progress polishing that gem to perfection.

Very nice, guzzi_sean.

[IceBlue]

Nice little big block Sean  ;) ;-T

[Tom]

That's the one you've been working on right.  Cleaned up nicely. ;-T ;-T ;-T That will be on the road longer than the current crop of go-fast crotch rockets.

[guzzi_sean]

Yup, same bike.  Still needs some elbow grease in the cleaning department, but pretty much ready to go.

[Sheepdog]

Wow! Gorgeous...

[IceBlue]

Did you get a dash from a Lario or LM ???

[guzzi_sean]

Engine, tranny, dash, rear wheel, and rear drive are from a LMIII donor bike.  I like the LMIII / Lario dash better than the SP, and the SP's was ~crusty~ to the extreme!

[booger]

shes a bute!
