    Recommendation for garage work stool [with wheels]?

    Hi all, do any of you have a recommendation for a seat to use for working on bikes? I had one from Harbor Freight with wheels and a small tray for tools, but it just broke and I'm lucky I didn't break my butt! And I'm not heavy! I've seen lots of options online but wanted to check with you guys...

    Norge Handling vs. Griso

    Hi Todd, thanks for your personal reply. I really appreciate it. I went from the Griso to a Monster 821. Good bike for sure, but my wife didn't care for the ride. Then I went for a California 1400 Touring. That was a bridge too far for me. Way too much weight, and I just don't ride it. It...

    Norge Handling vs. Griso

    Good morning. I had a Griso and loved the engine, but found it's low speed handling to be difficult. I'm thinking about a Norge now, but wonder if it would also be hard to handle in low speed situations. Anyone have experience with both? Thanks for your thoughts.

    California 1400 - Corrosion Issues

    Hi all, I would appreciate any suggestions you may have regarding corrosion on my 2014 California 1400 Touring. My bike has only 1,600 miles and is always garaged. The fork sliders have areas of whitish discoloration, which I assume is corrosion under the clear coat. I'm guessing the only...

    Seeking advice on used California 1400 Touring pricing

    Hi all, I plan to put my California 1400 Touring up for sale or auction and would appreciate any guidance you may have regarding pricing. It's a 2014 Touring in black with 1,500 miles in mint condition. The only mod is the addition of a usb charging adapter to power a phone. Thanks for your...

    Gearbox Oil Access Bolt - Frozen or Just Tight?

    Hi all, the gearbox oil filler bolt/plug won't budge. I even whacked the allen wrench [carefully!] a few times. Anyone else encounter this? Is it Loctited from the factory? Any thoughts on getting it loosened? Thanks, Norm

    Stelvio and steering damper

    Mike, you can order the fork tube clamp directly from Fast From the Past, located in Georgia, USA. I met the owner recently at Road Atlanta; swell fellow. Order the Polaris frame ATV clamp online or from a Polaris dealer. The Ohlins damper is available online or from your Australian sources. Norm

    Stelvio and steering damper

    Mike, a few years ago I fitted an Ohlins damper to my Griso [same frame]. Here's a link to the how-to. Also, I still have the spacer you will need. Let me know and I'll send you one. Best, Norm https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/steering-damper-for-griso.12571/

    New V7 II Racer Owner, need some guidance.

    Please do not do this without consulting a professional. Doing so will change the rake and trail of the bike and may contribute to potential instability, i.e. a tendency to speed wobble. It is likely to "quicken" the steering considerably, and the bike will require much more constant steering...

    NOS [New Old Stock] California 1400 Touring

    Thanks to all of you for your comments. Much appreciated. I was just told by a dealer that the California 1400 Touring is no longer being made, and they are just selling off built inventory. Anybody have any confirmation or details on this? Thanks, Norm

    NOS [New Old Stock] California 1400 Touring

    Hi all, I'm considering getting back into Moto Guzzi with the California 1400 Touring and noticed a new 2014 in stock at Pro Italia, Glendale, CA. They're a good outfit and I would not hesitate to buy my third bike from them. What differences are there between the '14 and a new '16? The...

    Marietta Sports Cars - Greater Atlanta, GA

    Hi all, former Griso owner looking to get back to the Goose with a new California 1400 Touring. The dealer in my area is primarily a used sports/luxury car dealer with Vespa and Moto Guzzi also. The bike operation looks a bit tentative, and I'm wondering if anybody has any intel or feedback on...

    New bike delivery checklist

    Hi all, I sold my Griso and sowed my Ducati oats for a bit. Now that's out of the way the Guzzi call can't be ignored! I'm going to go for the California 1400 Touring but the dealer in my area is new, small and appears tentative. So I want to be really careful when accepting delivery. Has...

    Free Oil Cooler Grill

    All, I have a perfect condition oil cooler grill for the Griso. It's a take-off from when I got the GuzziTech billet piece. Free to anyone who wants it. Just pay shipping which should be $10 to the lower 48. Norm

    If this is covered by warranty, will the fix be worse than the problem?

    All, the black stripe on the tank of the 2013 Griso is actually tape, and it's lifted. Yes, I pushed it back and it held for about an hour, then lifted again. The bike lives in a dark garage when not ridden, and does not commute, so it's not sun damaged adhesive. Any idea how Guzzi will...

    Mozz, the song was used in "Wolf Creek", an excellent 2005 horror movie, if you like that sort of thing. Norm
