Behold! The Griso 1400

[Huzo]

Now I know where to get the orange paint for the dayglo panels on the Mk 2 fairing each side of the headlight.

[LowRyter]

That machine looks badder than Shaft.

Nerds gotta nerd!

[keener]

gotta love this ...great build , and what i would expect from you fellows  ...good on you ....i wish Guzzi had the balls to make a bike like this currently , its where the Griso should have gone ..

[wheaties]

Looks great!  My guess is, since I felt the need to see it again, that others might like to see the video of it running as well.

If I'd thought about it I would of made a short vid of him riding it but we were all feeling a bit wooly this morning after a night of gratuitous excess down at the Lake George restaurant. Mark put forward the rather spurious hypothesis that he needed some bourbon to 'Help him sober up.'! You can guess how that went .

Anyway rain was forecast for Wagga from about mid-day so he and Leah bolted as soon as we'd got up. I rode with him over to Murrumbateman before saying goodbye and peeling off to head back to Bungendore. Judging from the clouds I fear he'll get drenched before he gets home.

Pete, if your US tour next year has you in the midwest in late September, the Kentucky rally is in bourbon country. You can test that hypothesis..
Uh, it's never worked for me.. <shrug>

Alas, apart from the occasional gin and tonic spirits are off the agenda for me. Likewise regular wine drinking as it, especially reds, causes my gout to flare up savagely! Nowadays I'm pretty much strictly a beer drinker which probably explains my almost spherical shape!

    Any chance of throwing up a photo from the exhaust side,,, some times that's a weak spot on the Grisos.

Not quite drenched, but sufficiently wet enough....

[wyno]

I like the front mudguard paintjob.

New goose !!!?

[beetle]

It's not paint. It's vinyl wrap.

@pauldaytona  Paul, it was the nearest thing to burnt orange they had!

[pete mcgee]

Pete, Mark.
Well done, excellent work. It looks brilliant.
May the longevity fairey kiss it on the bum and it not explode.
Any thoughts on a dyno run?

who is this guy in guzzi t-shirt?

looks too old for beetle and too young for Pete, the third guy of this project G14?

Too old to be me? I'm not sure how to take that.   

[pete roper]

It's because you're so angry. Everyone thinks you're ancient!

[Phang]

I better stop making comments, still need the map from you after I rollerised my G12 

[beetle]

I'm not angry, I've just been in a very bad mood for 50 years!   

[guzzi ride]

The Griso looks great!

[pete roper]

Oh, Phang, the 'Third Man' is Michael who does the throttle twisting in the utube vid. As I've said elsewhere this build is more his than mine and he has been pivotal in its success. Yes it's been a group effort but my contribution has been mainly knowledge and experience. This is far more Mark and Michael's build than mine.

干得好 (well done)

[Ncdan]

Y’all don’t be talking about Mark looking old, he looks young and healthy, that’s my take at least until we get my calvin remapped anyway:)

[Darren Williams]

That bike is really something to be proud of!  Very well done indeed.

Makes me wish I could come hang out with you guys just to watch these projects.

Now you have me wanting to trade my old Thruxton in on a new Griso again, just as I had gotten over the urge. Seems I fight this urge every few months, dang it!!!

[NorthernProducer]

That's one heck of a team effort guys!  Now you just need to go into "production" and send 'em over here...

[groundhog105]

What a great build and beautiful finished bike. 

[SED]

Great looking bike - must be a blast.

[Bulldog9]

B R A V O . . . . .      Great to see this. Beautiful build and I am glad you could get it worked out.

[80CX100]

     Tks, very nice. That savage looking heat bluing on the header pipes adds to the overall brawny character.
 

[pete roper]

Single skin Titanium pipes. As well as being very pretty they do actually have some tangible benefits with the 8V motor.
