Hi,
Been riding Guzzi for about 20 years but 3 years ago, I sold my Norge and bought a Beemer.
Now, finally, Guzzi made the bike I wanted 3 years ago.
Sold my Bmw and bought me a Guzzi again.
Here it is:

Welcome back!
Ride report please! :grin:

Very nice ! You might be the first board member to take delivery of one of these beauties 👍

Welcome back Frans. I seem to remember a maroon California in your possession early on.
Either way, I think you might have made a few people somewhat jealous. :grin:
-
Beautiful Frans.
That is exactly the one I’m waiting on..
Are you in Belgium or is that merely a forum name..?
Can you take 1,000,000 shots and post them ?
Or.
Give me your address and I’ll drop in and have a look. Leaving Calais next week and maybe turning South for Deauville, or could nick straight up to your place if allowed...?

Damn right, but sincere congratulations..!
[edit]
I just checked and noticed you are almost on a straight line from Calais to where I need to be on the 11th May..(Tilburg)
Would be a massive bonus..

And now?
Yes mate, got it !
Will be @ Heathrow on May 1st, but by the time I get around to Calais via Felixstowe and London, it’ll be maybe the 4 th or 5 th.
However I’ll be in Europe ‘till about June 20, so could swing by Belgium around then if allowed.
Judging by your e mail that’s a possibility.
We’ll watch each other’s movements.
Thank you.

Congratulations!
A friend and I drove down to Cadre Cycle in Cincinnati yesterday to see the V85. I notice yours has the center stand. Did you have to add that or did it come with it? None of the bikes at Cadre were equipped with one.

Congrats, and welcome back ! I look forward to hearing more of your impressions. Did you test ride before purchase?
-
Congratulations! That's a good-looking motorbike... :thumb:
-
Oh I love it, congratulations! :thumb: It might be my future bike to re-join the club as well. Albeit I'll probably have to wait a few years, until I have money again. :boozing:
I hope you'll share pictures, etc. of your trips together!

Congratulations. The more I see actual people with the bike the more I am believing mine will actually be coming soon. I can't wait to here your impressions. Enjoy.

That red and white looks pretty amazing!! Enjoy the new ride!

Careful Frans....Huzo might just offer you $10K above purchase price to take it off your hands for a jaunt around Europe!
Bloody beautiful bike there...post up tons of pics as you get a chance!

Normally, I would do something so rash...
But I’ve got 1200 reasons to show some restraint.

We've been missing you, Frans, welcome back!
Looking forward to hear what you think of the bike and comparisons with the beemer.

That bike is too clean to have been ridding 160K km! Surely it's just a garage queen!
Now if they would just send a blue V85 somewhere to Texas so I could see it in the flesh...
-
So beautiful... My Norge had better be real worried about a this lust for my Fantasy Guzzi - the V85
Say, does the V85tt have two side stands?

It sort of is..
It’s been parked up in garages in some far flung corners of Europe and Australia..

Center stand was an option (and @Geezer, it has only one :grin:)

I did, it runs great, further ride reports will follow.

My favorite color...very nice.

Congratulations, that is a beautiful machine. I have also been looking for a way to return to a Guzzi and one of those might be the ticket.

Very nice, congrats, Frans!
Looking forward to reading the ride reports.
