Hi All,
I'm a new Guzzi owner(07' Griso purchased from AF1). I love the bike - it has tons of character. I've admired these since 2001 when I bought my first "real" bike, a Triumph Sprint RS 955i in Jacksonville, NC. Anyhow, it appears that there are no new threads for this region. I generally post on the Two Wheeled Texans site, but figured I'd see if there are ever any rides organized from this site for the Austin region??

Thanks,
Chris
 
Chris, welcome to the site. We have a good fiend that moved there last year from L.A. I'll have him check in here. I was in town there last Summer, and it wasn't a ride, but there was three or so Guzzi at the Vintage Bike night at the Draught House Pub on Medical Pkwy. Hopefully some others will chime in here. If you meet up with them or other riders, get them to check in here... and be sure to post pics.
 
I'll keep an eye out for your friend. I generally ride 100+ miles each weekend when I'm not working and would be hay to have him along. The hillcountry is terrific. I'll be sure to post pics.

Hello Chris.

My name is Jack Price. I am the guy Todd mentioned.

We definitely need to hook up.

Shoot me a PM and I'll send you my contact info.

Talk more soon

-Jack
 
This is definitely a rather quiet forum, albeit a useful one with some great tech tips. I'm riding tomorrow(Sunday, 5 Feb) as I always do when I'm not working. I'll head west from Lakeway around 11:30 am. I don't have a route planned yet, but it will likely be about a 2-3 hour ride with some great hill country roads involved. I need to wrap up the break-in on my Griso.... If anyone would like to join, drop me a line.

Chris
 
Well, just in case you were considering this, I'm not riding today. The weather is raining and 45 out here in west Austin. I'll throw out a line next time I'm riding and the weather is a little better.

Hey there, I am new to the Guzzi experience.
I just obtained a fully restored V65sp (1983) and it is magnificent.

I live in Elgin TX, near austin.
 
I am in Austin at least one week a month, I keep a BMW 1150RT in Austin and wouldn't mind going on rides... we can pretend it is a Guzzi... just um, an oil head. Maybe Todd and I should setup a Guzzi in my garage in Austin. Custom design a "Lone Star" Guzzi. Hmmm.... I smell a project!
 
83 sicilian- Elgin is close enough and great lookin' bike! Let's get together one of these weekends for a ride. I have dad-duty all weekend this coming weekend(Feb 25/26) and work the following weekend(Mar 3/4), but am totally free for a few weekends after. How about linking up on either Mar 10 or 11? I've never ridden the east side of Austin so I'm happy to meet in Elgin. If you prefer the hillcountry, that works for me too as I live in Lakeway. If that weekend doesn't work, just shoot over a better one and I can probably make it happen.

Falcor- just let me know next time you are in Austin and we can set up a ride - Beemers are cool too!

I am in Austin and as long as it is not raining, I am usually able to ride on the weekends -

I bought a 2012 Griso SE from AF1 in Jan - I traded in my 09 Mana
 
Sorry for the delay. I admittedly just don't check this site very often - usually on www.twtex.com. Congrats on the new Griso!! I bought mine from AF1 as well - great folks over there. I can go for an afternoon ride this Saturday - 4-28 if you're up for it. Anytime after 1:00 pm. I live in the Lakeway area.

Hi,
A few of us are trying to organize a Moto Guzzi Riders group here in Austin. The idea: rides, coffee and coversation, overnights with people that appreciate the Brand, etc. Oh, and let's not forget bench racing! If you are interested please leave some contact information and we will reach out to you.

I can be reached at OutofBalanceEnt@gmail.com
 
Be sure to keep the info alive here please.

I was in Austin for a few days ~2 weeks ago. I was on a loaner of a different brand, but I made it to Doc's for bike night along with Jack P here on this Forum on his convert. He also has a Jackal in his garage. Good guy to know.
 
Hello all:

We will be heading to Austin from Canada for the Formula1 race in November. We have several free days and are wondering if its worth trailering our 2 Guzzis along. Any comments or suggestions for interesting rides or group meetings would be appreciated.
Thanks.
 
There is a very good motorcycle community here in Austin. The Texas Hill Country has a lot of good riding. Bring the bikes. There are all kinds of gatherings during the week. Mondays at a brew pub, Wednesdays at an Asian restaurant, just to name a couple.
