    New 1200 Sport Corsa.

    :D Freshly serviced and running like a dream! What a bike! Pulls like a freight train! Avanti!

    Any more Nuovo Falcone owners?

    :( Unfortunately, whilst attending a Guzzi rally, someone offered me a vast amount of money for my NF. As I was suffering terribly from my shoulder issues, and finding the weight to be a problem, I accepted. I used the money to buy a '72 Suzuki Hustler! The complete opposite of a Falcone, but I...

    B11 sidecase won't come off the bike

    :D Glad to be of service!!!!!

    B11 sidecase won't come off the bike

    :D The panniers on my Sport will only come off the bike if you insert the key in the lock and turn it 90degrees until you can push the catch down. At the same time, hit the pannier with the heel of your hand towards the rear of the bike, and it should come out. A bit of a faff, but that is what...

    New 1200 Sport "Corsa"paint scheme

    :D Well, who'd have thunk it! 2 years after this post and there is a brand new Sport Corsa ABS sat in my garage! Belissima!

    New 1200 Sport Corsa.

    :( Yes, for some bizarre reason you don't get the Sport. Lots of my American mates have expressed great admiration, and several have said that they would buy one. I think this bike would do well over there.

    New 1200 Sport Corsa.

    :D I had to sell my beloved Griso 8v when my shoulder issues became unbearable. 2 years on, and I have a new shoulder and a new Guzzi! I bought a brand new 2013 1200 Sport Corsa ABS. I have done 1000 miles and am very impressed indeed. She goes in for a service on friday, after which I'll start...

    removing rear wheel without factory stand

    :D I took my G12 to the dealer last week for a new tyre, and I watched how they did it. They used a purpose built jack that lifted the rear wheel up. I think it mounted near the footpegs, though I didn't really take much notice. Sorry. Anyway, the wheel came out with the (stock) silencer still...

    Maxxis Tyres

    :D Has anyone tried these tyres on an 8v Griso? I am more interested in longevity rather than super stickiness, but a certain amount of grippiness is of course, desirable! The Metzelers that are currently fitted, have squared off badly, and it has meant that the handling has gone to pot. These...

    Griso tyres

    :D No worries! I have run mismatched tyres on quite a few bikes in my time. To be honest, I couldn't detect anything that could be called detrimental. As I am currently unemployed, and as new tyres are not cheap, the front tyre is staying on! Thanks for your concern!

    Griso tyres

    :S The rear Metzeler tyre on my 1200 8v is shagged, with less than 5000 miles on. Whilst looking at a new SE at the dealers, I noticed it had Pirelli Scorpion tyres fitted. Can anyone tell me how they compare? I don't need a supersport tyre, cos I ride like an old bloke (I am an old bloke!) Is...

    Guzzi = Exotica

    :D Over here in the UK, the only thing that Lancia's were famous for, was that their engines used to drop out due to mega severe rusting bodywork. It gave the marque such a bad reputation, that they stopped selling them in the UK back in the mid 80's!

    When to Replace a Helmet?

    :?: Funny you should mention that! My previous lid was a Lazer, which I had for about 5 years. Just this year it developed a sticky coating which attracted flies, hairs, dust, etc, which I could not remove. I tried WD40, carb cleaner, soap and hot water, all to no avail. I haven't a clue as to...

    Faultless foreign foray

    :D Here goes my first attempt at posting a pic! Hopefully you will see a pic of my fully loaded G8v ready to set off for foreign climes! Oops. There is a message saying the file is too big! Help!

    Faultless foreign foray

    :S Whilst I am able to post pics on other forums, using the paperclip icon, this site has me stumped! I am a technophobe by nature, and I do not speak computer talk. A step by step guide, in plain English would be very useful!

    Faultless foreign foray

    :lol: Yes, there was a Honda Blackbird rider on the ferry, who thought I was "very brave" to attempt a long foreign trip on a Guzzi. "Why?" I asked, only to be regaled with tales of woe involving "mates" who had blown up their Guzzi's, whilst trying to keep up with Jap bikes. When I asked him...

    GRISO MPG

    :D :D I've just done an 1800 mile French trip. My 8v Griso returned 50+ imperial mpg. No complaints at all re: the rest of the bike's performance. However, riding back up the M6 in apalling conditions, my red triangle lit up, a warning message was displayed, and the speedo packed up. The sensor...

    Larger Windscrean for Griso 8V

    :D I'm back! Good trip! The windscreen worked well, and the panniers leaked. No surprises there then!

    Faultless foreign foray

    :D :D Just got back from an 1800 mile trip around France, on my 8v Griso. Nothing fell off, broke, vibrated loose, stopped working, and the bike is running better than ever! The factory panniers leaked (as I was told they would) and the windscreen worked well. Fuel economy was outstanding (50+...

    Larger Windscrean for Griso 8V

    :D I've got the same large factory screen, and the same factory panniers on my 8v. Off to France on saturday for a 2 week trip. Should give both items a good workout!
