The Norge is a bit more work than a Stelvio, for example, because it has to shed some plastic before you can get to it, but these bikes are surprisingly easy to work on. My Stelvio manual is very complete and has good pictures, OR you can start a "tech-session" thread here, where folks will be glad to step you through a process like changing a fuel filter with pictures and all. I'm sure that some of our Okla-Homies will be able to let you know a good dealer. Loaners aren't very common, as far as I know, so you may have to do some fancy footwork and bike-swapping to avoid being out-of-wheels if there's something that takes more than a day, especially if the bike has to be cold when it's worked on. But these are the sorts of things we ALL fight through .... !Good luck!Lannis

Hi, I'm Kim. I'm 46 and a music librarian in Philadelphia PA USA. My husband and I just upgraded from our Ninja 250 'starter bikes' -- he got a Thruxton and I was considering a Bonneville, but I test rode the V7 and instantly fell in love. I got it on August 28th and I've already put 1100 miles on it. Glad to be a new member of the family.
I missed this intro first time through.But Cam should be by soon to tell you to check out the NJ MGNOC website:http://mgnocnj.forumcircle.com/index.php and/or watch here for our monthly breakfast/lunch rides.It's funny, but for a NJ group we wind up in PA pretty often (Washington's Crossing for the Gathering of the Nortons or some other bike show, or Bowman's Tavern in that same area south of New Hope for Lunch). Another V7 would be great to have along, and there's nothing wrong with Hubby's Thruxton. You guys should join us sometime.Kev
Like Kev said, join our NJ website and come on out and participate! Only a small creek seperating us, and lots of bridges!Cam

****Not that it matters, or that there is anything wrong with it, but [I hope] I'm not the typical attorney-type with a motorcycle (read: older, soft, Harley).****
I resemble that remark. No, wait a minute. I don't have a Harley ... tho I wouldn't mind one, actually, as long as I don't have to wear any of the regalia. Very nice Guzzi, Crash. I saw one of those in the flesh recently and thought it especially good-looking.If you get past the Shenandoah sometime, stop off at the Moto Grappa in Cross Junction. I'll have a beer and you can have a tofu smoothie and we can chat Guzzis. Seriously, welcome and best wishes for miles of smiles.Bill Kentucky Bar #27800
Hello Dom , and welcome . But let's be honest here , that Aermacchi , well , that wasn't built for your daughter Dusty
Hi, I'm Dominic from NJ.Just picked up a 1967 V700 project that I'm going to be putting together while I put my 1957 BMW project on the backburner (it's getting way too $$$). I actually planned on fixing the Guzzi up and flipping it, but I'm kinda falling in love with it and am going to permanently add it to my stable.The bike's a bit of a time capsule. It had a lot of work done to it in the 70's and then apparently just sat in a shop while the owner planned on restoring it. The chrome cylinders are in excellent shape (though I'll likely be getting them Nikasil plated) as are the pistons, it had top end work done, and is very complete, though the condition of the rear splines (or lack thereof) makes me doubt the odometer reading of approximately 19k miles. For that reason, I'll be opening it up and checking the condition of the sludge trap. I'm documenting the process on my blog @ symphonyofshrapnel. blogspot.com
Hi Dominic,Great blog and V700 project you've got started there! Two resources you might find helpful, if you haven't already found them: 1) Greg Bender's This Old Tractor website: http://www.thisoldtractor.com/moto_guzzi_loopframe.html and the Loopframe Guzzi Yahoo Group: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Loopframe_Guzzi/infoI look forward to following your progress.
