Hello Folks
As the title says, I have pulled the plug on my Moto Guzzi rental business in New Zealand. The website has been shut down.
It wasn't a hard decision to make. I haven't had any rentals for over two years, and --19 effectively shut all borders.
I even strayed from the marque, adding an Indian FTR1200S and a Chief to the stable. I hope to sell off some of my Guzzis when summer arrives (but no sign of that at the moment).
I will still lurk here, and can be contacted through Guzzigander@gmail.com.
All the best for the future

Sorry to hear Dave. Wish you the best.

You had a great run, Dave. You made a real contribution to Guzzi riders the world over. I'll never forget two of the best rides of my life on your bikes.

My wife and I were supposed to come and visit our son in December 2020. I was planning to rent and ride while I was there. Not sure I will ever get to go, or whether he will ever get to leave. At least we have video chat.

Sorry, Dave. I don't need to tell you that businesses based on tourism have taken it tough in lockdown. :sad:
-
So sorry to hear about this, Dave.
Not many Guzzi rentals around, you were an exotic flower, so to speak!
-
What can I say but all the very best Dave. I seem to remember you saying at the Motueka rally you were pulling back a bit.
Indian or Guzzi, makes no difference. As long as you enjoy riding is the main thing.

That's a real shame. I was planning to use your services in the future when I'm no longer a slave to my kids and have more time. One of the blokes in the Guzzi club here in Sydney rented a Cali from you a while ago and had a great time.
