[Vinmar9]

My name is Vince, I live in California and I'm a new owner of a 1951 Airone Sport. Doing a google search I don't see many with the full fender in the rear like my bike. Can anyone verify they are correct?  I have all the original paperwork and title for the bike. I inherited thd bike from my Uncle as well as a 1954 Triumph Terrier

Hi there! My name is Evan. I live in Central Coast region of California, near San Luis Obispo, and am 34. I work mostly retail, some defense contractor work, and am planning on joining the coast guard now that the age limit was raised...

Anyway, I just purchased two Moto Guzzis - a red 2000 Quota 1100 ES and a 2021 V9 Bobber Centennario! I'm having a little trouble with the old one, mainly dealing with the consequences of an overfilled transmission and gearbox, and a leaking muffler seal... But I am thrilled to own these wonderful machines and have utilized this forum recently to great effect!

Thank you for reading

Stephen, 57, living in the Wild West of Kerry in Ireland.

My first Guzzi is a 2021 V7 850 Stone, I've wanted one for a long long time, ever since I rode a friend's Le Mans Mk II.

Very happy with it, I'm coming off a high-mileage FJR and the change of pace is welcome.

I put Angel GTs on, that made a big difference to comfort and confidence. Suspension front and rear is next. After that brakes, pipes, a map...

Meanwhile I'm just enjoying it.

[bmw111]

Bill in New England. First Moto Guzzi after almost 30 motorcycles. 2017 V7 III Stone with 2019 Stripes/Sketch Kit. Enjoying the bike immensely.

[MakoGuzzi]

Hello All! I am Zac from the hills of Connecticut, my Guzzi is a '99 Bassa with ~7800mi. This is my first guzzi, and second bike overall. Going from a TW200 farm bike to the Italian thoroughbred was night and day!
I would like to thank you all for the wealth of knowledge in the forum. Has made learning the new bike a much easier process.

[Lorelai]

Hello from Northern Colorado, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, one of the most beautiful places to ride.

This my first motorcycle, a 2013 v7 Stone.
I just inherited/purchased it in June, took the MSF, and got my endorsement in July.
I've since put about 2,300 miles on it.
The bike was well taken care of and loved by the previous owner, and she's been the perfect first for me.
I've replaced the rear brake pads, and I am learning my own maintenance and repair, by researching forums like this one, watching YouTube videos, and from a relative that's wrenched on and ridden motorcycles forever.
(He heartily approves of my Guzzi)

I've ridden on the back of quite a few motorcycles, over the years, but riding my own is a whole new experience, that I can't believe I didn't do before,
and now it's all I want to do, every day.

Welcome, don't know if MG still makes hard copies but you can print your own from a PDF file.

Hello Everyone!

Bay Area California rider new to the group.
I have had a few Guzzis over the course of the years (LeMans I and III). I currently own a 2020 V85TT and I just picked up my first loop frame. A 1970 Ambassador in great original condition. Needs a few minor things but I'm loving the bike so far.
Cheers!

[RadarVector]

Hello, I just joined the forum. I've owned several Guzzi's in the past, just bought a red base V100. I feel the hand of Aprilia all over this bike and I'm loving it. Hoping for a very mild winter! Ciao.

Hi everyone,

thanks for accepting my membership, I'm glad to be here.
A few words about me:
I'm Italian
I own a MG T3, Cali II, Cali III and V7 Centenario 2021 and ... a Honda Four CB 750 K2, ah ... and a Vespa 125 VNBT.
I can do some restoration and mechanical repair but I'm learning while doing and I need the support and consultancy of a friend who is an active member here in this community 
I love to exit from my comfort zone even if it brings some challenges and risks, this apply for my job (IT) as well as for my passions like DIY, retro computing and vintage motorcycle restoration.

what else ... I did some road tour in the USA back in the 90s and in 2004/2005, now I love to go around the Alps that I can reach in less then an hour  Since I own the V7 I neglect the vintage ones ... my bad 

it's all by now
ciao

Hello all,
I live in NEPA (north east PA)
62 and retired, married 40 and counting.
I owned many bikes, enough that I would have to sit and think long and hard to remember all of them.
This is my first MG, 2003 California Stone. I really like this bike and hope it stays together (if it’s older, made of metal and needs love, it’s for me).

[WhipTease]
