Open House at The Guzzi Doctor

[Dave Swanson]

The Guzzi Doctor had his annual open house last night at his shop in North Chicago.  It was a great time.  Lots of nice peeps and bikes to look at.

This very pretty young lady rode in with her dad in tow.  She is a proud owner of a new 2021 V7-850.  Her dad has had his 73 V7 Sport since he graduated from HS!  The new V7 received as much or more attention than any of the old bikes. 



This Ducati 175 Toursimo, late 50s, was beautiful.



There was a nice turnout considering how cool the weather was.



Joe wanted me to bring my 1935 GTS and gave it a prime spot.  I started it a few times and it was a crowd pleaser.



It was a most enjoyable evening.

Great pictures Dave. Why are all the best bike groups so far from the East Coast?

[Kane]

And the west coast, too! Dang, I might to have to make a pilgrimage to Chicago.

[AJ Huff]

I cannot fathom navigating a motorcycle any where near Chicago.😮

Nice pictures.  Looks like a good time was had by all.

Guzzi needs to hire that gal for marketing (with the blue 850).
Pure joy on her little face!

THAT’S where you need to take that loop of yours AJ.

Joe's plenty busy, plan ahead. He's backed up for like 2yrs with projects.

More pictures of interest from the open house.

A well done custom.  Joe (The Guzzi Doctor) was on hand for some carb tuning.



This tasty 74 Ducati 750 GT is being sold on consignment.  Tempting!  Joe has been through the bike from front to back.  Its a good one.



Joe's V7 Special.  This is one of his "keepers".



There are many drool worthy bikes in the shop.



A lovely Lodola



A proud new owner of one of the new special edition HDs stopped by.  A stunning bike made to resemble the 69 FLH.

Dave...that looks fantastic...nice gathering of bikes to be sure! 

Will have to put this on the must stop places on my next trip up in the summer time!

[RHAT]

I would have liked to been there.  Sweet

Yeah but that word Chicago scares me off. Great place to live, don't like driving there.
