One outsider's view on us here at WildGuzzi

[Dean Rose]

I've got a 2002 EV and a 2007 Breva 1100 the best of old and new, I'm a happy GUZZI owner.

ADVrider. . .isnt that where folks go to compare expensive gear that'll never see the trails' head much less the trails end?  Just saying. The steel cuts the oats both ways.

we have quite a bit of that here too!

The original comment from ADVRider is pretty accurate, but hey.
What's ironic/interesting to me is that WildGuzzi is a far more active and interesting forum--oatmeal notwithstanding--than those for bikes that sell in far greater quantities. I guess that's how cults are. :-)

It was Groucho Marx that said:

" I don't care to belong to a cult (he actually said club)  that accepts people like me as members " lol

By the way if I was dividing MG into old and new i'd make the break at fuel injection/carbs.... Or maybe

Good point.

Maybe they admire our unique perspective.

I think the insults in this case are being cast towards those who don't buy new Guzzis (and probably never will) BUT WHO FEEL THE NEED TO CONSTANTLY WHINE ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY AREN'T BEING CATERED TO.

Feel free to never buy a new one. But purchases are voting with your dollars and if you don't vote, don't bitch.

 

I tend to agree somewhat with what your saying Kev having bought 3 new Guzzis in the last 6 years . There are a lot of opinions from many on this forum as to what a used Guzzi should sell for and it's usually some rock bottom dollar that sometimes astounds me .
Maybe it's a good thing but I count my blessings that it's not the other way like it is for the Harley market . Man , those bikes are way over valued compared to anything else out there but that's just my opinion .
I think we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously because I know many who have bought new Guzzis' who aren't on this site at all and don't want to be . Se la vie 
On another note per your request a while back the (new) retro Triumphs where at the bike show in all their glory . Nicely finished motorcycles with what sounds like a brute of a motor cranking out over 100 hp according to the dealer .
I was not that interested as an 04 V11 Ballabio in mint condition was there for sale and I was enthralled . The price was a little steep but it's red with CF muffs and only has 10,000 miles on it . I pick it up in April .
This proves a point , only Guzzi will do !

Ha ha, thanks for that report Rocky... I get it, though I think I'm more interested in the T120 and some future V9 Stone personally.... Or an Eldo 1400 hmmm.
