Guzzi on ferry
« on: July 18, 2025, 07:12:34 PM »
On a quick trip up to the top of Door County Wisconsin, taking the ferry to Washington Island. Here she is; allegedly it was Frank Wedge's bike before I bought it from Charlie T in McAllen, TX some years ago. Just crossed 50,000 on the Veglia. Ran like a top, except during the torrential rain around Green Bay (while crossing a metal-deck bridge no less!). I'm liking the new Mistral pipes, and the new PHM carbs seem to have woken the old Italian stallion up a bit.

No other Guzzi's spotted on the trip (just lots of those ridiculous Slingshot summer-snowmobile things), but on tiny, sleepy Washington Island, at the only real coffee shop on the (really sleepy) island, an old guy working there came out and told me he used to have an Eldo and a Le Mans, before he moved on to BMWs and then gave up on bikes.

Let's post more! I haven't done a trip in a while and I was so pleasantly surprised at the amount of attention the old beast attracted.

The G5 is a terrific Guzzi. Wish I still had my black 1979.
