Title: 850-T
Post by: wymple on August 27, 2017, 05:47:14 PM
I was in Ft. Madison, Iowa today at a Mexican restaurant, and saw a beautiful red 850-T. Corbin seat, aftermarket mufflers. It looked brand new. Maybe better than new.

He's right... that's probably the best looking 850T that I've ever seen.

It IS a nice Moto Guzzi.   :thumb:  I don't see anything that jumps out at me as native to an 850T, though.

I suppose that is because it is a LMIII and not a 850 T.

I think Hymes Inc. made that pretty clear.   :laugh:

Of course it is a LeMans.  I happen to be very old, so I get to screw up.

They're just having fun with it, Wymple.  We know what you meant, and it's a pictureworthy bike.   :boozing:

Definitely a Lemans. My wife is from Fort Madison IA. She loves her "T" (plum crazy)

Isn't that directly from the Wildguzzi oath of membership?
Seems to fit (with exemptions for those committing to the marque early in life).

Easy to confuse cousins, right?
