It's such a nut house here, we should be thanking you for taking a chance connecting to a crazy bunch like us!

What's the back story? Is the goose your first bike?

What started you on a dangerous path like motorcycles?

Decided to go for it--got m/c training and first bike was CBR 300--drove 2000km before my road test in 2 months then bough the Guzzi in the fall--never looked back!

Way to go on the m/c training and welcome to the forum.
I'm in New West myself V7iii Special,
You should be thinking about lubing the driveshaft, Luigi is really stingy with the grease.
Have you changed the rear tire yet?

Welcome aboard, as Nick says, there are a few of us Canuckistans here, although our love of guzzis and other quirky mechanical devices, could call into question our sanity  :laugh:

Glad to hear that you've done the mc training and are atgatt; you're putting some good mileage on and aren't telling us about get offs and accidents, that's a very good sign  :thumb:

I was blessed with a very minor accident early on in my riding years; ever since I'm head on a swivel 360, scan and assess anybody  or anything that can cause me harm, I control what I can, and enjoy my ride.  :bike-037:

You're doing it right getting into guzzis early on,  :bow: it took me 50 plus years before I even saw one in the flesh   :rolleyes:

Ride safe and often, take care
