Guzzi Gander is no more

[Kiwi Dave]

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

Dave Gale

Sorry to hear Dave. Wish you the best.

[Daniel Kalal]

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.

[Kiwi_Roy]

Thats too bad Dave, I'll never forget the holiday I took riding one of your bikes to visit the Family.

- A rest stop on the Desert road - Kiwi_Kev

- We arrived to a frosty reception in Hunterville

- Last ride with both my Brothers
- trying to emulate this picture of my 3 Uncles

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 twowheeladdict, video is just not close to the same is it.
Hopefully one day soon you all can meet again real time.

Sorry, Dave. I don't need to tell you that businesses based on tourism have taken it tough in lockdown.

So sorry to hear about this, Dave.

Not many Guzzi rentals around, you were an exotic flower, so to speak!

[Muzz]

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.
