Favorite Guzzi pic
Oca Grassa:
Like the title says, what’s your favorite Guzzi pic? Is it one that drew you in eventually to fall in love with the brand? Was it one you saw when you were young, cheesecake model on the bike & all? For me it was this one:
It was on the cover or a “centerfold” of a Cycle World issue back in the day. I wanna say 1997 because that was the year I saw a Guzzi and thought, wow. What a cool looking bike. Not that I hadn’t seen a Guzzi before then, but that was the 1st time I consciously remember thinking one was cool. And by “cool” I mean, I wanted one.

Only because of content. My birth mother (Whom I first met about five years ago) going on our first ride together little over four years ago. She and her husband rode their own small Yamahas locally in Nevada and Utah and traveled together some on a H-D. She is now 88 and still riding with me and can tolerate 50-100+ miles rides well. She likes me getting a bit sporty in the curves.

someguy:
Not the one that got me into Guzzi, I'm not sure cameras were even a thing back then and certainly no digital pics around. Perhaps a magazine pic still exists but finding it would be a labor if even possible. So as a compromise this is the one that has brought me back to the community and I'm looking forward to receiving it in a week or so.

Lucian’s 1400 that I got to ride when I visited him a couple years ago, in Maine.

My V7 Sport was just another cheap Italian project bike that I could afford to add to my collection. I wasn’t looking for it. a friend called me about some old bikes they found when they opened a long-delinquent storage unit. I never really hunted for or even studied other Guzzis after that. Once it was running, my old V7 Sport was all that I needed.
Decades later, another friend called me about a loop chunk that was part of a similar group of abandoned bikes. after it came home with me, I happened to find some pics like this one from Monza of the so-called 1969 Record bikes. that started a whole new interest in early Guzzi V-Twin sport bikes for me-
