850-T
« 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.

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