    Moto Migliori - And so it begins…

    Wow! Wonderfully impressive. The Moto Grappa is envious of the space in your moto-stable and of the number of mounts in it. Pretty classy, too, to give public kudos to your vascular surgeon, Dr. Gates. :clap: Bill

    Moto Grappa Tech Days 2024

    Jason, I wasn't the least bit offended! I have been around national-class SA's all my life and find them invigorating. :clap: Understand the confusion about and affection for MG's. A Guzzista friend just bought an "A." My own and exceeding limited connection with a machine as lovely as...

    Moto Grappa Tech Days 2024

    I can only assume that you are being a smartssa -- and thus get an automatic invitation to next year's event :giggle: -- by meaning not much "tech." Actually, there was quite a bit, tho that was certainly eclipsed by the borbon, beer, food, and BS. :clap: OTOH,maybe you couldn't light up the...

    Moto Grappa Tech Days 2024

    Good morning from the Moto Grappa at the top of Virginia! Here is the slideshow I made of last weekend’s Moto Grappa Tech Days 2024 [MGTD ’24], the seventh in the MGTD series. Inasmuch as Scott is a “star” in this slideshow, it seemed fitting to post this here. So, I took 800+ pix; yes...

    Bienvenue! At convenience, send a photo or two of your V85 ... and your travels with it. Best from the top of Virginia, Bill

    Hello from Hastings Mn

    That, Scott, was a powerful and poetic paean to your father. What a great story. :clap: That sort of vivid telling only comes with experiencing "real life" in ways that are not always pleasant. :cry: Father-son relationships are sometimes -- and mostly in fiction -- idyllic. Mine was...

    greetings from Mondovi Wi

    Welcome. The "alphabet roads" in the Driftless area of SW Wisconsin -- and similar ones in SE Minn., NE Iowa, and NW Ill. -- are one of my favorite riding memories. Hoping to reprise that with a friend after our Kentucky "Mutton Run" in May. Bill

    Hello from Germany (Cologne)

    Willkommen! I have a 1998 V11 EV. That sweet old beast has 107,000 miles. What a splendid machine. Use the search function first, and, then, if still wondering about something you cannot find, post any questions over in the "loop & tonti" thread...

    Ahh…the season has started!

    Lovely shot. We get snow here, but nothing like my own distorted images of Sweden that always looks like our own home here once several years ago. That was rare and charming ... well, until it wasn't. Happily, "(dis)staff" here likes exercise. :inlove::giggle: Your own photo could have...

    Hiya from Erie, PA - USA

    Thanks, Steve. It was a significant collision. She and local friend were heading to meet another high-school classmate for a "girls-out breakfast." I like pancakes, but not enough to be with three ladies "of a certain age" gabbing and giggling about the good ol' days! :giggle: So, I begged...

    Hiya from Erie, PA - USA

    Bob, Welcome to the forum and Guzzidom. That said, without a pic or two (or ten) of your V7 … well, you’re just a dreamer. ;) Seriously, do post a photo sometime here or in the registry. The following is an unsolicited (and TLDR) “essay” about my frequent rides to Erie. I married an Erie...

    Hello from Virginia!

    Welcome from the top of Virginia ... and congratulations on your new Mandello and your return to riding. I am down your way frequently en route to visit grandkids in Wendell, N.C. My Perfect Pillion & Polish Princess usually slabs itso she has more time with the little fecals, but...

    Getting seriously excited!

    Your "it is amazing how quickly a Sheriff’s keeper in the lobby of your bank or business, gets people’s attention” is so “real life” perfect. BTDT. As one of my (more “colorful”) bosses over the years was fond of saying: "Bill, that’s a school solution … I want a street solution.” :clap: Bill

    New to site Ohio USA

    Only six? Shameful. :giggle: Seriously, if ever this way -- the Moto Grappa at the top of Virginia -- stop in. I sold my Griso last summer at about same time I bought my Oreo Guard. I had originally found the "Jurassic Park beak" look off-putting, and had intended to get a V100. For...

    Getting seriously excited!

    Hey, folks, let's go easy on 80-YO guys; I'm almost there. :giggle: Seriously, what you report is disgusting and difficult to find any remotely credible way to reconcile with innocent mistake of fact, etc., Well, there is the senility card as @Raven so insensitively mentions ;), but we...

    Plastic tank swell and blisters

    Imdamnpressive. As I likely mentioned somewhere "up there" in previous posts in this thread, I never sealed my tank -- too lazy; too skeered :giggle: -- but had two tanks and took annual turns R&R'ing those after rinsing (and rinsing and rinsing), then airdrying until that tank's turn. Same...

    Intro

    I, too, wonder. If George rides as well as Mathieu, the deservedly famous Dutch bicycle racer, he can pedal faster than I can ride a motorcycle! ;) Related, George? Bill

    Hi all

    Welcome. Where in Maryland? Don't need street addy -- especially if you are in a witness-protection program ;) -- but wondering if in the sandy, flat, or urban of the east, or the grand riding that begins even as soon as Burtonsville? Oh, and what Guzzi are you, have you, are thinking about...

    Ümit from Turkiye. v100s

    You are kind; thank you. I have been dealt some wonderful cards in life and -- for the most part ;) -- played those hands well (enough). But, it's getting late in the game for many more international trips. OTOH, if you are ever this way, you would find great roads right outside our home, to...

    Ümit from Turkiye. v100s

    When I served in the U.S. Army in Italy 1977-80, I was blessed to have responsibilities that required lots of travel not only in Italy, but also to Greece and Turkey, too. I was enchanted by my numerous trips to Turkey; it was so unexpected in every way. Spent time visiting Turkish and U.S...
