Dave,
Always good to hear of a first time Guzzi owner. (I bought my first Guzzi in Aug of '71) Lifetime member #15 MGNOC

For many years I drove truck pulling tankers and always admired the welding on them. I can weld two pieces together that is level on a bench.

Enjoy,
Tex

Welcome, this site is a great resource for Moto Guzzi riders, some very knowledgeable people on here, and some that like to act like they are :cheesy:. All in all a very good group of people, very supportive, can usually come up with an answer to most things. Enjoy that new bike.

Welcome Dave. You got a nice Guzzi. Wish I was tall enough to ride one! Anyway I have 2 Guzzis. Great bikes. I also enjoy Guzzi people, whom I have mostly met at Guzzi rallies over the years. So go to a rally if you get a chance. They are so much fun!

Welcome Dave!

Working with weldors, fabricators, machinists, and designers has been a very interesting experience.

Is weldor the person, and welder the machine?  or do I have that backwards?   :wink:
