Title: New Goose, indeed
Post by: Vi Carious on August 11, 2021, 09:51:57 PM

Hello all,

Thanks to Beardog's generosity, I have been able to sample many Guzzis over the years, enjoyed them all, but somehow resisted their charms when planning to buy another bike. That is, until I saw the V85TT when it came out. Even then, it still had tubed tires, dealer network is sparse, etc. etc. I had a 1999 GL1500SE Anniversary edition in one-year-only Merced Green for many, many years until losing it to an unseen coolant spill in a sun-dappled curve. RIP.

So, what do I see this year in my motorcycle magazines? A Green Anniversary V85TT with tubeless tires! A few emails and calls later, I made one my own. Just getting acquainted with it over a few hundred miles and really enjoying its character. Of course, I had added a few accessories at purchase and am looking to add more (thinking windshield).

I participated in this forum some years ago, but had let my attention lapse. I look forward to using it again to connect with current V85TT owners, learning from their experiences and suggestions. Perhaps I will have a contribution or two of my own to make as I go forward with this fine motorcycle.

Let the new journey begin. . .

Congrats.  I am resisting test riding one, but the force is strong with this one.  I must stay away from Sloan's.
