    startus interruptus

    I had this problem and doing the mod had no effect. An auto electrician stripped ny starter motor to estabish why, and found a big lump of dried grease. This was removed, starter motor reattached and it's been perfect ever since.

    Griso as a Commuter?

    I ride 120 miles a day (45 miles of motorway, 10 miles of London's congested city streets) on a range of bikes from my 1200 Sport, a Fireblade, a GSX-R1000 down to a Yamaha 125cc scooter. Easc has its advantages and each it's drawbacks. No problem commuting on the Guzzi at all. Strangely, the...

    8V High Mileage / Good News Stories

    Oh yes-I've just seen the date you originally posted about Croatia. Lovely place-I rode down there in Aug & September 2012 but madwe the BIG mistake of riding back along Italian side of the Adriatic.Now I know why I saw so many Italian cars in Croatia! This year we are going down to Montenegro...

    8V High Mileage / Good News Stories

    I doubt 99.99% of riders of other bikes would never consider a Guzzi. My friend never had, but upon riding my V1200, he went out and bought a Norge. If you have never ridden one, you'd never know what you are missing. I expect my V12 will end up doing around 12,000 miles a year, purely on long...

    8V High Mileage / Good News Stories

    My friend had a Multistrada-he found the discomfort in his back was caused by a plastic moulding within the seat. He found this when he removed the seat cover in his desperation to see what was causing him pain. took it off with a rotary drill, and all OK. However, in the year her had it, it had...

    Hepco-Becker "Junior" hard bags on 1200 Sport

    I'm using Krauser soft panniers with Hepco & Becker C-Bow mounting brackets. Not massive panniers but with considered packing, and unnecessary items left behind (why do we always over pack ?) I can easily carry enough tee shirts and boxers for a couple of weeks trip. I can even filter through...

    Insurance for the Balkans

    Thanks Will-I have heard horror stories from my mate living in Tenerife where holiday makers hire 600cc bikes and then crash them wearing shorts, vests and flip flops, losing lots of skin and flesh. Only then do they find that their travel insurance only covers riding up to 125cc bikes. If they...

    Insurance for the Balkans

    Thanks Todd There is a bit of a difference to that for those of us in the UK (so I have been informed). Cover for non EU countries seems to be automatically given if you hold a policy taken out in mainland Europe. For those of us in the UK (an island) this is not the case, as insurance cover is...

    Insurance for the Balkans

    Thanks very much for asking for me. Trying to get upto date and accurate information is a little difficult. So far I have been told that I will be able to buy insurance at the border crossing when going into a non-EU country from the EU. However I have been given various costs for the same...

    Insurance for the Balkans

    Hi all In August I am taking my Guzzi on a European jaunt, going France, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, ( then possibly Serbia, and Kosovo), Bosnia, then back to Croatia and back to the UK the reverse of getting to Croatia. The only fly in the ointment is...

    1200 Sport 4v work stand?

    Thanks Kiwi Dave. Never thought of that as a solution. I have a couple of these knocking about in the depths of the garage, an able grinder and my brother can weld.

    Pannier Mounting Frame Points

    Well, I went ahead and purchased the Krauser soft panniers and the Hepco & Becker C-Bow mounting brackets. Thes brackets screw into the standard luggage hook mountings. No ugly frames are seen when the panniers are removed. Both the frames and the panniers are really well made, and I can remove...

    1200 Sport 4v work stand?

    I'm looking for one too-it seems a fruitless search so for. I will try to get into a local engineering shop to see if they can find a solution to this, as I don't want to fit a centre stand either. I'll let you know.

    EICMA 2014

    I can't go this year but have been three times now-it is THE show in Europe. Well worth a visit and will take you two days to see it all. Milan is a beautiful city, and although it can be very expensive, you can eat, drink and stay there quite cheaply if you go just off of the main streets.

    Pannier Mounting Frame Points

    Looking to use the smaller Krauser softbags which are sold with the Hepco &Becker C-bow brackets to lock them too. Anyone used these panniers?

    Pannier Mounting Frame Points

    Quick question-are the screws for the pannier frame mounting points in the same position on the Breva as they are on the Sport and Norge (which I believe are the same)? Thanks

    Sport Luggage Question

    Well, thanks for that-I would like to see a photo of your setup Oz1200Guzzi, as it sounds just the thing for me. I'd like to see how it fits and where it attaches. I have managed to find a brand new Baglux tank cover for less that half the normal retail price, so my Baglux tank bags won't go to...

    Sport Luggage Question

    I have a 2v 1200 Sport which is now my main bike for my European jaunts. However, it has no luggage facility on it. Looked at Moto Guzzi panniers but £1,200 a pair, that's a non starter. So what are the alternatives? It seems not much apart from a Moto Guzzi OE rackm the Ventura rack system, or...
