Same as the above, I'm on many diverse forums. This is  one of my favorites and I have not one single issue with the management, only praise and thanks.

I would not own my Norge if it wasn't for this site. And my Norge would not be personalized/farkled as nicely as it is if it wasn't for this site. I don't thank every one enough. So...Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you! And if I missed anybody? Thank you too! :smiley:

I'd just like to offer my genuine thanks to those who make this forum run and maintain it, and to the vast majority of members who also make the interaction on here friendly, genuinely helpful and positive. It made a big difference to me "re-discovering" Moto Guzzi the third time around recently with my Breva 1200 2V, with some great tips and info on things to look out for and what's also so great about ownership, when I asked the questions on this site.

So to all that bring such a positive, passionate energy to the shared enjoyment (and occasional challenge) of life with a Moto Guzzi, i say thanks
Cheers

 Hi Luap.  I've never met you and likely never will, nor for that matter Old Bike, given that I live half a world away.  I do however know common sense when I hear it.  Thanks for all you guys do.  I very rarely post yet reading this forum is a daily ritual and part of the fabric of my life.  Long may its spirit live.

Don't post much here anymore but I know it will be here when I decide to post, says a lot for the forum...longevity. So here's my latest post. The Bassa is alive and well in Barrea, Italy as my great uncle Tomasso demonstrates...





And the Barrea Soccer Squadra is #1 in their class in Abruzzo..



And the riders from all over Italy return....





The sun sets on Lago di Barrea...





And the band begins to play....



Barrea finally sleeps...

And, a big thank you from me for all the work you do Luap and Moderators. W.G. is actually the only site that I partake of, not just Guzzi stuff but a whole range of various topics, and have got to know a whole heap of good people along the way.

Thanks again Team. :thumb:

Thanks for putting up with the hassles, Luap.  I like the 'small town' feel of the group, as well as the expertise and wackiness.  When I sell my bike, I will sell only for cash, except to a known person from this group from whom I would accept a personal check (or maybe even an IOU!)  Hard to develop trust on the internet, but this group has it going.

A dream of mine. Hopefully within a few years. I'd like to ride around Northern Italy and into Switzerland and Austria. My family is from a town near Genoa.

If you plan to ride northern Italy ya gotta remember that roads up there are not always open. Stelvio is a good example, open from June to September so if that's your plan, check your dates. After I rented the Stelvio from Agostini in 2012 and rode from Mandello to Barrea and back, I asked about renting a smaller bike for a trip down Stelvio...No, it is October and Stelvio is not open, snow ya know :laugh:

PS...trust me, there is no shortage of great motorcycle roads in Italy, actually Europe in general. Some very challenging but also very beautiful scenery and history, a photographers dream :)

Thanks Luap!  I was going to suggest that those Americans that haven't donated funds to help you run the forum should do so but the last time I did that I got a lot of negative posts.  Seems words are cheaper.
