Greetings from The frozen tundra. (Green Bay Wi). After riding since I was 12 *(1967) which included far too many mini bikes with far too powerful chain saw motors bungy corded to them......2 stroke widow makers, giant 6 cylinder monsters I crossed to the dark sice in the mid 1980s to Milwaukee Iron. Road in clubs, all over the midwest and somewhere got old. Now at 70....still attempting to sling a leg over the 950lb noise maker it occurred to me......hey self, maybe life should not be this hard? Sold the barge and bought a 2022 Moto Guzzi V7 special. Named her Bella La Guzzi. Talk about the dawning of a new day! Fast, smooth, 1/2 the weight, and fun! VERY different riding experience and its pretty cool. Lots to earn, so be prepared for tons of stupid questions...(blame whoever had the poor taste to let a crusty old school biker in). This thing has far too many wiz bang buttons and nannys on it. (ABS, Traction control, MPG age, modes and slirpy makers) but it has the old school gas gauge. (trip 1) All I need now is to find a tank bag that holds a paper map. :)

+1 on the paper maps, welcome, 72 here. Look up the WI Guzzi Club. The Boss Man lives in your town, Chris. Good bunch of guy's
Good Luck on the V7

   I use a Cortech magnetic tankbag that has a proper map pocket. Good quality and looks good.

If we had a Winner emoji I’d select that.
Congratulations on your beautiful Moto Guzzi.

I've kept my collection of paper maps too. It's part of the fun.
