Just out of curiosity; New Poll - How long have you been riding ONLY Guzzis?

[Luap McKeever]

We've done the "how old are you" poll.  How about this; How long have you been riding ONLY Guzzis?

[ccoli]

Ever since I got rid of the Ducati ST2. Torture rack.

I love my Guzzi but have never ridden only Moto Guzzi

I so agree. There are lots of great bikes, Guzzi are best, but only riding a goose is like only eating one recipe, so limiting

Couldn't afford having more than one and only Guzzis.  One is my max, lots of work and expense to maintain my V7 compared to my other bikes.  It is unique and a conversation starter but so are my other vintage bikes?  I shouldn't think about this, Makes me wonder WHY?

Been a purist since 88, thirty years ago sold the 70 Ducati 350 Desmo to cut back on bikes. Did not have the room after quitting farming.

 :1: There have been short periods when a Guzzi was my only bike, but most of the time there was (one or more of) something else. MZ, Benelli, Morini, Yamaha XT500, etc.

IS there anyone who only and ever rides Guzzis?

It would be like eating nothing but veal picatta morning noon and night 365 days a year.

Since I busted 9 spokes on my SOHC rear wheel.

My "only Guzzi" phase will last until I relace said wheel.

I can think of a few folks. Bill Hagan only owns and rides Guzzis for instance.

I rode only the T for more than three decades -- from 1984 until the Boulder flood a few years ago. Thats when I started accumulating a series of cheap riders to use while rebuilding the T.

My sickness began in Sept 2001. My wife bought the 01 Jackal for me on a trip to San Francisco to celebrate her birthday.

Only Guzzi's since then by choice. I said it was a sickness!!!!!!!

Yup, that's what I was going to say .... they left NEVER off the poll.

[Luap McKeever]

I guess I could have worded it a bit different.  I was just thinking this morning that since giving up HonKawZukis in 1997, I have only ridden Guzzis. Was curious about others.  I know it's possible for people to have other bikes, but as long as you've been riding Guzzi's with those other bikes, you're still riding Guzzi.

Same for me...first Guzzi was at age 23, a new 1978 850 Le Mans, and I have owned and ridden 5 Guzzi's since then, but not exclusively...alway s had and rode other brands... :1:

OK, then about 15 years...

[oldbike54]

 For me it isn't so much the Guzzis but the people who inhabit our little family .

 Oh , exclusively Guzzi for about 5 years now .

With exception of Vespa I've always been Guzzis riders. I sold Vespa last year, now I'm 100% Moto Guzzi bikes.

Since '83 then.

[rocker59]

14 years since owning only Guzzi.

I have ridden some other brands during that time.

I started with Guzzi in 1998. I currently have 6 of them but always seem to have an off brand, too. Currently the off brand is a Buell xb9s. Great bike. Very light and quick handling. I ride the Guzzis at least 90% of the time, though.

Oh, yeah - the poll left out the word "fanatic" or I'd remembered .... !!    

[Sheepdog]

The last time I had only one brand of bike was in my college days...a 1975 Suzuki T500.  However, I’ve had my Vintage (the one and only Guzzi I’ve owned) for eleven years and have no plans to sell it...

Tater... 

Since 1983, a 1980 SP1000....  I will not bore you with all that followed.... and by all I mean many.

Still have some Guzzis amongst the other stuff.

Best,

[Guzzistajohn]

Bought my 1st Moto Guzzi 29 years ago. But I've had BULTACO, Gas Gas, Fantics, and KTM's during that time too. Man cannot ride on pavement alone : )

The largest percentage of those who responded to the poll have been Guzzi only for over 25 years if you trust Luap's numbers... They're so easy to own and maintain I wouldn't have it any other way.

[ratguzzi]

Wow, time flies. I bought my raT-3 a little over 20 years ago. The vin plate is still registered but it is now on a different frame.
I have owned a wide variety of Guzzis since then and I also have had other brands but Guzzis have been 98% of my riding.
Roughly estimated, I am around 750-800,000 miles on Guzzis.

Other than the MZ, which is a special case so I don't feel bad about a Guzzi rusting and corroding in California, nothing but Guzzis since I first rode a Centauro. I've had 13 since, Big block, small block, 2V, 4V. Still have three.

All day.
