Secret Guzzi Lust

[Dave Swanson]

When it comes to Guzzis I admit I have been over served, but there is one Guzzi I have wanted for a long time.  Maybe I will try to find one.   A T3 California has been working on me for a long time.  There is something about this bike (that some might call homely) that I really like.  The search is on!

That 850-T3 a nice one...and a classic Guzzi indeed!

I guess if I were to pick, my "Secret Guzzi Lust" would be an excellent original or nicely restored period V7 Sport or 1000S

Are you looking for a complete one like the picture?  Or are you after a good used one that can be restored to condition like the picture?  You want to work on it or ride it?  I know of a good one in the latter category.

Patrick,  I am looking for a restoration project.  Not too rough of one hopefully!  I am all ears.  PM sent.

I always wanted one as well. Had a Cal II but never ran across a T3 version.

I often miss the MG 125 ISDT I had that didn't make it through Divorce #2.  It was a project, but not horrible with all sheet metal intact and decent condition. Had no idea where I would find 32 spoke rims to replaced the badly rusted originals.  Had no idea they were as rare as they apparently are. 

Sold it to a guy from the Memphis area iirc that already had 1-2 of them.

Never understood why that model had knockouts in the fork shrouds for clip-ons unless they were intended for swan necks?

Speaking of lust..
That’d make a good tug...

Daytona.  But that's no secret.

Similar...it's got a great stance

T and T-3 series definitely at the top of my list favorites. I especially like the brown color ones with the gold stripes on the fuel tank

I wish my Nevada looked just like that, but Nevada-sized.  Why in the world do all the current bikes have blacked out engines?  I can't get worked up over a blacked out engine.  It just ain't right.
