    V7II mirrors

    i’ve long thought that the Original mirrors don’t look quite right. I’ve now changed them for a pair of LSL Clubman mirrors. I’ve yet to try them on the road, but I like the look.

    Battery heating up

    I got home after a 20 minute ride in stop-start traffic yesterday, and found the right side panel was very warm, something I've never noticed before in 2,500 miles. Presumably the battery was heating up. I don't usually do short runs, nor ride in heavy traffic. Was it the nature of the ride, or...

    Another dealer goes

    Moto Strada, of Shipley, is no longer a Moto Guzzi dealer according to the MG UK website. I looked in today, and where, last autumn, there was nothing but Guzzis, there were now three V7lls, two bespoke V9s, an Audace, and a miscellany of used bikes. Moto Strada used to do beautiful bespoke V7s...

    Is the V7II clutch heavy?

    Disappointment

    i've just spent a week in Umbria, and had hoped to see a few Guzzis. Well, I did, if three can constitute a few. I saw half a dozen Triumphs, about the same number of Harleys, maybe ten of those two wheeled VAG Group things, a goodly number of Japanese bike, a lot of BMWs and more scooters than...

    Biking trouser!

    At present I'm riding in an aging pair of Kevlar lined Hoods. They're a bit heavy and stiff off the bike despite frequent washes. I don't fancy getting a pair with inserts, and definitely don't want a leather pair. I just want something soft, and with reasonable protection. Any recommendations...

    Greetings from Yorkshire

    I joined the forum a few days ago, and have joined in a few discussions, so I'd best introduce myself. I got my Guzzi, a V7II Special in blue, a month ago. My last bike was a 1954 Velocette MSS, sold three years ago, and before that a Norton EL4. Going further back there've been Triumphs, a...
