Title: Another one of those crappy 8V's hits the highway!

Bit of a palaver as the shipping company sent it to the wrong place which caused a bit of hair tearing but it's all good now!

You sound as though you are selling a few M.G's along the way Pete. :thumb:

A few. But given my 'Area' I'm happy with the numbers. So far in the last year I think I've done a couple of Calis, a Stelvio, a Griso and several V7's and V7-II's. Canberra only has a population of just under 300,000 and the last 'Dealer' was a disaster who completely poisoned the market so turning over a bike every couple of months is something I'm more than happy with and word gets out that bikes come out of the shop running as they should. (shrug.) all good!

Hang, that means Canberra is only 3/4 the size of Christchurch,  and we don't (to my knowledge) have an official Guzzi dealer! :rolleyes:

Pretty good going on your part I would say! :thumb:

How do you find the factory set up lately?  Lovely Griso, always nice to see another one hit the road. May you sell a bunch more.

I hate those ugly freakin turd Griso's.  (Because I don't have one in my garage) :cry:
















For the humor impaired that's satire. Yes I'm jealous I don't have one.

Factory set up on this one was the best I've ever seen. Valves were pretty much spot on, throttle body balance was close to perfect with only one bleed open, oil levels were essentially correct. It was good to see.

Glad to see your getting more MG on the roads around here, I've only seen 1 other (a V7)
FYI, I'm still happy to have the V7-II viewed by your potential local buyers.

Maybe us customers need to have a little "Moto Moda" sticker on our bikes - ringed by one of your more crustier expressions  :grin:
