Hello, brand new to this forum, here's my (quick) story with Guzzis. I had a V7 stone back in 2013 to which I never warmed up, so I ended up selling it, and stayed ...bike-less for 3 years, 'till I recently found and purchased a 2001 California Special, so I am interested to learn more about this bike.
By learning "more" I mean beyond the usual, trivial stuff I can already read in the manual, or the many reviews from the early 2000s still available online. I believe it is a Tonti frame but I am confused as far as the many different iterations of the California, i.e. EV, Sport, Jackal, etc. I am especially interested in finding custom work, mods, known issues and proven fixes/improvements, etc, you know, the usual stuff.
Where do I start? For one, I'd love to see a picture of your Cali (I am posting mine) and hear what you love (or ...not) about this bike. Suggestions about upgrades, parts and accessories will be highly appreciated, as well as info RE: hooking up with fellow Guzzi riders in my area (zip 60016).
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
