    Chicago Cycle Show, January 18-20

    http://chicagomotorcycleswap.com/ It's in St. Charles again this year at Pheasant Run. I'll have a Bikers For Christ booth set up so come on out and say hello. This is NOT the International Motorcycle Show. That one is still in Rosemont in February. All the best, Mark

    Spam, Selling My Beautiful Griso 8v

    https://www.guzzitech.com/forum/162/9076.html It's simply too nice a bike to not be ridden. I take my Valkyrie out 99 times out a 100. Thanks for looking, Mark

    Griso 12VDC Acc. Cable

    I took off the right side cover to the Griso hoping to easily locate the 12vdc connector that's supposed to be their. Am I looking in the wrong location? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Mark

    More Battery Corrosion

    I was installing my MPH Startus Interuptus harness today when I noticed some corrosion on the positive battery terminal. I was able to clean it all off with a wire brush and a razor blade. I then smeared Vasoline over the positive battery terminal and the positive harness connection. If the...

    Check Your Throttle Cables

    If you mounted the larger Guzzi windshield (not readily available in the USA) as I did you may need to check your throttle cables. I routed mine under and beneath the right side shield mount. I noticed today that the throttle cable housing is being torn up by the shield mount's rough edges. I...

    Griping About Grips

    One of the things I immediately didn't like about my Griso are the oem grips. They're simply have too small a circumference. I really like the oem grips on my Honda Valkyrie as I find their circumference about perfect for my hands. I've never had heated grips on a motorcycle but saw these a...

    Harper's Moto Guzzi Does It Again

    My "For Offroad Use Only" big Griso windscreen came in today. THANK YOU CURTIS HARPER!!! To say I'm impressed with the screen would be a huge understatement. The quality of the stainless brackets is very nice. All the stainless nuts, bolts, washers, spacers etc are present and accounted for...

    Full, Empty or Doesn't Matter

    I've always stored my metal gas tank motorcycles with a full tank of treated gas for the Winter months. By treated, I mean, StaBil and something like SeaFoam added to the gas. My Griso will be in the garage on the Guzzi paddock stand and covered. The Griso has a Nylon gas tank so does it matter...

    6, 4, 7, 4 Griso 8v

    6th gear 4,000 rpm 70 mph 40.5 mpg I set my throttlemeister at 70mph (+/-2mph) on I-88 for about 40 miles. It was windy but the big G was as stable as can be. I'm the correct weight for a MUCH taller man and my Griso only turned 2500 miles as I got back home. Pretty impressive ride and results...

    Come and Get It

    Jim Barron at Rose Farm Classics, Woodstock, ILL had a nice visit from the man in the brown truck yesterday. The good UPS man dropped off some Termignoni mufflers for you Griso owners that want a little more of that sweet Italian music to follow you around.      Jim can be reached at...

    Great Griso Addition

    Recently DanR showed a picture of the Griso oil cover Joe K. made. I commented I'd like one in black and sure enough, Joe accommodated. I bought one of these last week and installed it on my white G12 over the weekend. Instalation takes all of a few minutes and it sure looks great on the bike...

    Safety Wire and a Skidmarx Griso Hugger

    I wanted to get my replacement Skidmarx rear tire hugger installed before the National in Elkader but I ordered the wrong length bolts. I ordered M6x10mm instead of M6x15mm for two side mount bolts. Some of you may remember my original Skidmarx came loose at the front mounting bolt and tried...

    Guzzi Griso Workstand

    I picked up my G12 tonight from Rose Farm Classics after Jim did the initial service. The Griso has run like a champion from mile one and of course still does. Jim also installed the bobbins that come with the Guzzi Griso workstand. I put the big G on the stand when I got home and it works like...

    Griso ST

    I just added the Guzzi saddlebags to my G12 and they really are very nice. The install is a 20-25 minute affair and they blend perfectly with the Guzzi tail bag I already had installed. Congratulations Moto Guzzi, you're making my Valkyrie Interstate a (mostly) 2-up only ride. Forza Guzzi, Mark

    My Skidmarx....Left a Mark

    So I feel a little dragging and smell some burning. The line of traffic I was in was just getting started from being at a traffic light so I'm only going about 20mph. My first thought was my rear caliper is locking up. After about 30 feet I'm safely pulled over to the side of the road. I smell...

    Another Great Ride and Productive Griso Day

    You may or may not know that today, May 7th, was the annual CMA Run for the Son ride. The CMA chapters across the country all held the event today. I rode the Run for the Son with the NW Indiana chapter of Bikers For Christ. It was an awesome 100 mile ride with a police escort. Ignoring stop...

    Moto Guzzi - They Did It Again!!!

    Many years ago when I first saw pictures of the Centauro, I knew right away I had to have one as I thought they were stunningly beautiful as well as beastly powerful. Several years later and I did have one. A perfect 1998 British Racing Green Centauro Sport that I absolutely loved. In fact, I've...

    Good Friday....Good Griso

    My 2009 white Griso 8v purchase is now complete. I only need a break in the rainy weather to be able to pick it up from Rose Farm Classics in Woodstock, IL. Hopefully either Friday or Saturday. To say I'm excited would be an understatement. I have 100% confidence in Jim Barron at Rose Farm that...
