    Spine Registry & Pic Thread

    Never satisfied, being a Guzziholic I NEED another Guzzi, but due to finances and my wife's urging. ("Why do you need three bikes when you only have one bum?") I agreed to sell the Griso and the Breva so I could buy my dream bike. The Griso sold. 😭 the Breva hasn't sold yet. 😁 Almost a year...

    Cal1400 REGISTRY & Pics thread - ADD YOUR BIKE

    About a year after that, while at the "Ruptured Budgie" Guzzi rally I found a 1400 Eldorado for sale at a great price and having cash from my Singapore Superannuation, snapped it up. Stripped and polished the valve covers and changed the rear brake master cylinder for a silver alloy one and...

    Griso REGISTRY & Picture Thread - ADD YOUR BIKE

    A year or so after buying the Breva and a bit better off financially, I started looking for a bigger Guzzi. I came across an 8 valve, 1200 Griso that was for sale at a price I couldn't refuse. I bought it even though it wasn't red. I fitted a Dart flyscreen, Hepko and Becker crash bars and...

    Small block Registry & Picture thread

    Four years or so later,.... I had to part ways with my Bellagio when I moved back to Australia. I actually shed a tear when the prospective buyer said he would buy it. Anyway, back in Oz I found myself financially challenged and the only Guzzi I could afford was a 750 Breva. Great bike, but not...

    1100 heads on an 850 Breva or Griso.

    I recently sold an 8V 1200 Griso and miss it so much I WANT TO REPLACE IT. I just found an 850 Griso for sale at a great price. I am sure I would be happy with it's 75 horsepower. 75 Horses is all my Bellagio had, and it was more than enough. (My Bella below, after a V7 style makeover.) I...

    Does anyone have a picture of their Griso with engine guards

    Hepko and Beckers. Worked great on my Bellagio. Similar design. Saved a lot of damage in a 10kmh slide. Blend in and disappear against the black frame (on the Bellagio) and engine on the the Griso.

    Cal1400 REGISTRY & Pics thread - ADD YOUR BIKE

    Nah! Had to leave two in Sing when I moved back to Australia, a 940 Bellagio and an 1100 Jackal. Since then I have bought a 750 Breva and a 1200 Griso. Did a bit of customising on all of them. Sold the Griso after getting the Eldorado. Anyway, back to the garage. Just finished adjusting the...

    Cal1400 REGISTRY & Pics thread - ADD YOUR BIKE

    I've had my Eldorado for a few months now. Love it. Just got home from a 4500km trip. (about 2,800 miles) The bike was great. Did half of the miles hands free, on cruise control, steering with body weight. Didn't realise I was doing it half the time. Just came natural to me. Anyways, When I...

    Spark Plug gaps, oil & filter change, valve adjust, air filter comments

    Lost my plug on my Jackal. Found a rubber bung that fit nicely. My mechanic told me not to worry. If it does get in the cogs, it can't cause any damage. Don't worry. Be happy.

    About to buy a 2014 Custom

    Hi James. What is the "Intermittent" issue with Cruise control? I have an Eldorado. Cruise works great, the only thing is if you hit a big pothole/bump the Cruise shuts off. Not great when you are riding hands free, steering with body weight. 🤪

    Air cleaner.... Ugggggggggg

    I have been toying with the idea of getting a Goldie, but you have put me off that idea for good. I'll stick with my Guzzis. Thanks for your post!

    Wow $500! You gotta shop around. Ive seen used but nice, chrome, heel toe shifters for fifty bucks on ebay. Keep looking. Btw. I Agree that the california range are under rated. They are great bikes!

    California Jackal Bobber video

    It is original. I just chromed it. Take a look on ebay.com there are lots of guzzi parts for sale in th USA. Im sure you can find one and the shipping may not be too bad via the global shipping program. Good luck!

    Is a California jackal a good bike?

    Hi Geezer. Nice bike. Tell me did you put the Power Commander on and what difference did it make to the bike?

    V9 Opinions

    Sounds like a good thing. My 940 Bellagio spec sheet states the top speed is 196kmh. A bit of an understatement. I've had it up to 210kmh and had more revs to go, but I had to slow down for traffic. Does the factory understate top speeds to keep the Euro regulators happy ? A friend suggested...

    Is a California jackal a good bike?

    This came up after my Jackal video. Freaked me out, The Jackal has so many possibilities for customisation. Wait till you see the JacKatana !

    Is a California jackal a good bike?

    I have a 2001 Jackal. It has pushrods activating the rocker arms. After about 100 Jap bikes this is the bike that has turned me into an unrepentant Guzziholic. I never want any other brand bike now. The Jackal has tons of torque, pulls like Arnold Schwarzennegger at 16 and in the words of a...
