I already do not miss the ST3, even though I liked it very much.

Beautiful bike. Starting to get an itch for one. Let us know how the first few thousand miles go.

Lovely!  You'll need to update your signature, now.   

Cheers,

Hmmm, yeah.
Beautiful bike, I'm starting to get something..
But it's not an itch..

Update and one serious question:

Update first - just been commuting and waiting out the rain before I get a proper ride in. But I am loving my commute now. Tonight I removed 7, yup, SEVEN orange and white warning stickers. Without these critical warnings, I will need to remember:
 - do not allow key chain to fall between steering head and frame
 - wear a helmet
 - pull clutch in during engine start (even though it starts without doing so)
 - use gasoline only up to E10
 - do not puncture or incinerate the shock
 - do not drink the battery acid
 - do not install accessories that are not approved by Moto Guzzi

Wow - what a bunch of lame stickers. Bike looks better now.

Serious question:  is the top shock mounting bolt supposed to have a nut on it? Picture attached.

Relax Scud. No nut required !

Remember that in the early 1990's Aprilia owner's manuals used to have a warning 'Not to eat any part of the motorcycle'!

Word!

Do not eat the brown acid.

Very nice, for a girls bike. 

I’m just jealous

I love your bike, sat on one a couple of years ago and almost bought it. My only Guzzi was a 2013 V7 that I had as a extra bike and loved. Now if I can sell my 2018 Gold Wing Tour I just might buy one too.

Do not drink the battery acid?

One wonders if that warning had to be put there due to it actually happening. 


No. Surely not! 

[Scud]

Haha... thanks guys. No nut required (expect the one operating the motorcycle).

Anybody know where I can get a set of factory heated grips for a reasonable price? Called Harpers today and they said Piaggio jacked up the price of the heated grips to $400.

Ive had the $40. cycle gear trackside heated grips on my 13 since new and they work perfect. I connected them to stock Guzzi handle bar controller and although very rarely use them here in So Ca when I do they are great.  $400. is friggin crazy imho.

Word!

Husqvarna dirt bike manuals had a statement that said you shouldn't even sit on it without being checked out by a doctor first.

I'm going to try to work a deal on a Stelvio over the next 2 weeks.  My old injured knee can't take a Griso no matter how much I want it to.

[pete roper]

Dropped pegs? Bar risers? There are lots of crips out there who have made a Griso work, but, agreed, there are some for whom it won't.

And the Griso is a much lower bike to throw those old damaged knees over. Stelvio is a very big bike in comparison.
