    Todd was in an accident

    Todd, I'm so sorry to hear that you were in an accident! I can't believe that you've been recuperating from that heel injury, only to make that problem pale in comparison to the seriousness of this car crash. Thank God you and the driver are ok. Please get better soon! When you are better...

    Re: from Italy to Czech Republic and beyond [mostly photogra I just wanted to say thanks for posting those beautiful pictures! What a dreamy collection of scenery, history, cultural expressiveness and exciting curves. That was a nice break for me this afternoon. Thanks! -Derek

    black/red v11 on topanga and 118

    Hey guys! Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Yes, that's me. I commute on the Guzzi every day between Santa Clarita and my office in West Hills. Was that you Clam on the new MG at the 118? Sweet ride, and i like the exhaust! I bought the bike in December and Todd got it running right...

    USA west coast bike tour advice needed

    Hey Fatal, A quick search on Wiki, Answers, etc. led me to the following: An Imperial gallon is 1.2 US gallons. An Imperial gallon is 4.55 liters. A US gallon is 0.83 Imperial gallons. A US gallon is 3.79 liters. Pound Sterling to US dollar exchange is currently 1.63. So, your UK price...

    Liquid cooled engine in the making for 2014?

    Hey 11514v, Great post! Thanks for the insight. I agree that HD should try something a little out of the box (a la your VRod touring idea). I am very disappointed in them. Harley managed to finally slough off the reputation of building shoddy paint mixers, only now to be stuck selling...

    USA west coast bike tour advice needed

    Hey Fatal, http://www.californiagasprices.com/index.aspx Average price of gas is currently $3.50 to $4.00 per US gallon, based upon type (87, 89 or 91). CA gas is usually regarded as crappier than the rest of the country (lower octane and more ethanol), but I suppose it is cheaper than what...

    Liquid cooled engine in the making for 2014?

    Ah, not to raise any ire but the best thing Harley Davidson has done lately (imho) was spend money to keep MV Agusta alive. Bought it, paid off all the outstanding debt and then sold it back for $1. I still can't figure that one out. I guess the second best thing Harley Davidson did lately...

    USA west coast bike tour advice needed

    Hey, Just a random suggestion: there's a website out there that had a lot of interesting information on California roads called pashnit.com. The guy even rides a Guzzi. http://www.pashnit.com/ Unfortunately, it appears to have been locked down and become a subscription site. It might be...

    W're never too old!

    Hey Daniel, That's a good one. I saw that a little while ago and liked it. I took their advice too (in a small way) in that it was freezing balls yesterday but still ran the Guzzi because it needed to happen... This one has a BMW in it, but has a similar inspirational message...

    New Guzzi Rider in So Cal

    Hey Richard! Alright, thanks for posting! Yeah, I'm looking forward to putting more miles on the bike and getting to know it better. Great to hear that you have been riding Guzzis forever. With the rain this week I don't think I'm going to try to head up Angeles tomorrow morning, but if the...

    Stainless steel rocker cover bolts

    Hey guys, I just happened to order a "bolt kit" for my Moto Guzzi V11 from Stainless Cycle: http://www.stainlesscycle.com/catalog/index.php I just received the kit in the mail yesterday, and the bolts look great to me! I think the entire kit was something like $40. -Derek

    New Guzzi Rider in So Cal

    Hey Guzzibob, Yes, this is my first Guzzi. I've owned 2 Ducatis: a 1992 900SS and a 2002 998. I've also owned 2 NSR's and a couple of Japanese sportbikes. Amusingly, my last bike was a V-Star, which I used as a daily commuter and just sold at 30,000 miles to fund the purchase of the Moto...

    New Guzzi Rider in So Cal

    Hey, I recently purchased a 2003 Le Mans, and had Todd go through it and put some fresh Dunlops on it. I went up to Newcomb's Ranch on Sunday morning, and was greeted by some friendly Moto Guzzi owners who also happened to mention this list. I just wanted to say "hi" and also thanks a lot for...

    Terblanche onward...

    Ha, Terblanche knocked it out of the park with his Supermono design, and then I think he spent the rest of his career at Ducati destroying Tamburini's and Bordi's jewels. So sad. I give Ducati a ton of credit for hitting the "reset" button with the 1098. Those years of the 999 were kinda like...

    Ducati Sued

    Hey guys, I just bought a V11 LeMans and am concerned about the plastic tank damage. Is it even worth trying to determine whether a particular fuel provider is better than another (Shell, Mobil, etc.), or all they all pretty much using the same ethanol percentage? That's a shame thinking...
