    favourite fall/spring gloves

    I need new gloves... want something water resistant, preferably soft 'armour' only, and some insulation, but only on the back side - not the palm. for comfort and so my heated grips work. spring/fall here means rain and 5-15*C. any thoughts? favourites?

    importing a motorcycle Europe -> Canada

    Hi guys, Has anyone ever imported a motorcycle from Europe? I'm eyeing a Zigolo 110 as my next acquisition, but like most of the bikes I really like, they're pretty rare in North America. I'm hoping there's some company/service doing this that's easy to work with...

    vancouver area coffee meet?

    We still have some good weather left, and my old Breva is still insured for a while yet - anyone want to get together for a guzzi coffee meetup? I'm on the mainland, in Coquitlam, but I might be willing to get on a ferry boat if that works better? Most weekend days can work for me :) Let me...

    Breva runs so?? time to point it north

    my new TPS has the big Breva running better than ever, so it was time to give it some exercise: the machine, ready for action: everything I need for five days motoring about my province, hopefully!: pretty excited to try my new tent, it's little and saves a lot of space so hopefully...

    can I use an automotive alternator?

    I've read that some folks used to swap their alternators to automotive units: thisoldtractor.com/moto_guzzi_loopframe_alternator_conversion.html I'm in the process of tidying up / repairing my Nuovo Falcone's charging system, and wondering if I couldn't do the same? I was holding a little...

    Resistor spark plugs and caps and wires

    Hi guys, I'm waiting on replacement parts for my Breva11, since my wires have corroded inside the caps. Oddly, quality resistor caps seem to be out of stock everywhere, leading a long wait time. So, I've been doing some reading on alternatives. I've read that you should generally use either...

    failed spark plug lead

    the ole Breva started running pretty rough so I started poking around and.... the cap was barely hanging onto the spark plug wire! seemed pretty corroded in there, too. this was the inner on the left side. so uh... check your caps and wires once in a while, I guess that's the lesson here...

    interesting teardown of a V85 at 50k kms

    motociclismo.it/long-test-moto-guzzi-v85-tt-dopo-50000-km-81412 bit of a funky translation, but an interesting read. especially for those concerned by the perceived 'knocking' present on many of the stock bikes.

    nuovo acquisition

    a while back there was a thread here about a Nuovo Falcone for sale in my province - very rare here! https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/would-you-buy-it.21421/ turns out... it never sold. I posted in the NF facebook group - I've wanted a Guzzi single for ages now - and the very same...

    windscreen source

    maybe everyone already knew about this place? "bikescreen.com" or "gustaffson fairing screens" has a tremendous selection of wind screens for our bikes. even an enormous 'euroflip' screen for the Breva!

    Horns, roads and old bikes

    I had most of those Suzukis as well :) I especially loved my GT550, just a thoroughly pleasant motorcycle.

    Vancouver to Castlegar (BC Canada)

    Touring mode! ...can't really tell the difference from normal mode actually Two machines with a similar goal, but very different approaches. Even enough room for a few creature comforts :) Excellent croissants in Castlegar! A few motorbike-centric images from a trip I took a few weeks back...

    High beam with engine off

    Hi all, I've been playing with the wiring on my B11 and now my high beam doesn't work... however I can't start the bike right now, and I can't quite remember if the bike allows the high beam to come on with the engine off? Can someone with a functioning bike check for me??

    CARC guard installed on B11

    Installed this little OEM guard a week ago or so, to keep the precious CARC unit a bit safer. got it right here from @GT-Rx® , remember he can get all kinds of stuff not listed on the site too! hilariously, something went wrong with the shipping - tho the address was completely correct - and...

    sudden stop, will not restart

    well, my trusty B11 has finally requested some attention after thirteen years of loyal service. as I was riding home, the motor stopped running, but not quite instantly - the rpm dropped quickly, held at a very low rpm, maybe 2000, and would not respond to throttle inputs. a second or two...

    B11 Production Numbers?

    Hi all, I've done a bit of searching and can't find this - how many Brevas were made each year? The reason I ask, ICBC here in BC has a special 'limited production' category for insuring bikes 15 years or older, if less than 1500 were made. My Breva is an 07, so it's coming up on that age...
