For those of us here in SoCal who have had the privilege of visiting Guy's home (barn collection) and then his business strip warehouse collection, I'm very sad to see this; http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-guy-webster-profile-20170120-story.html -- but so awesome to read Guy is in his normal high spirits, and that he is keeping his Guzzi(!). Ride on Guy, thanks for the smiles over the years.
Perhaps time to go to the Auction and try to secure a piece of history.

Kind of wonderful that despite all the incredibly rare and beautiful exotica that he has owned, his chosen number one that he could not bear to part with was a Guzzi LM I. That has always been my first choice among all Guzzis.
 
OK, so I'm late seeing this post, but I did read the LA Times article when it was posted.

The first time I visited Guy and started up a friendship with him was the Harry Quinn Vintage Bike Rally in 2009. I was a new Norge owner, having taken possession barely a month earlier. That was also the first time I met other Guzzi owners in SoCal and enjoyed a great lunch with several of youse guys.

Of course, after lunch, you guys took off like scalded rabbits and I had to find my way home on my own.

Fortunately, I didn't take the hint, and I've hung around and met a bunch more good folk.

I try to keep in touch with Guy as I've always admired his photography skills and would love to learn more from him.

Hoping his health continues to improve and that he will be with us for years to come.
