It's a generic drawing -- you can get the same thing saying grumpy old Ducati, Indian, Triumph, ... , rider lives here.

This makes me grumpy, so I guess the answer to your original question is yes.

I think I am grumpier now than I was 40 or 50 years ago. Perhaps it is an age thing. If so, and if most Moto Guzzi owners are older, then I would expect us to be grumpier than some other motorcyclists.

However, it is not my Moto Guzzi that makes me grumpy. It is people!  :wink:

My daughter got me one of those for Christmas.

She obviously has me confused with someone else.

Well dammit!  Welcome to Wildguzzi!  You're close enough to join some of the rallies in the fall - GRIT rally and the Okie...both easy driving distance from your location.

Come on over and be grumpy and have fun with the rest of the Guzzi folks!

"Grumpie" has a green & black EV and lives in Sandpoint, ID.  I swear at him quite often to make him happy. :shocked:

I think times are a changing.  There are all us oldish bastards posting here, and a good smatering of sub 40 too.  But many of the folks buying Guzzi v7, v9 are younger, but they don't post on this kind of Social media.

So we think things are static, but they are not, they just don't go to rallies, breakfasts and such, but they are buying.   They don't seem to as a group want to hang with old bastards, but did you when you were 27?

CARC riders need not apply?   :wink:
The best part of riding a motorcycle is to tilt the horizon and to lift the front coming out of a corner and to drift the back end powering thru loose dirt and to catch a little air topping a hill and... yeah it's all good!

It's part of the bylaws, it's illegal to be Grumpy when you ride a Griso!  Too much fun!!
