I love my Quota.....it only took me 6 years to get one !!!! But, now, I have this urge to add a new Guzzi to my humble premise. After all, a guy can't just have "one" Guzzi can he ???? The Kid B)
 
I too have a Quota. I too, want to add a second Guzzi to my stable. I too, am a "kid", relatively speaking, in the Guzzi crowd.

Guzzikid, if its not too late, don't get married. It will significantly curtail your Guzzi purchasing prowess.

And where I'm from, Quota's are "wicked" awesome.
 
Had my Q for 7 years going on 8. I just bought a 03 stone. as my second Guzzi. It is a blast. It goes around corners a lit better than it should. But on the road the Q is the better machine. It is a lot smoother. It handles the seams in the concrete better.
A Jackal, Stone or EV would be a good second bike especially around town. I almost always ride the Stone to work now.
Both bikes are great. Each has a purpose.
 
It's too late for your wise advice about getting married......and your right, I have to beg, pout, plead, trade, trick, or barter for any motorcycle that I fancy !!!!! But, At least I can go visit dealerships and drool, slobber, and lust over the new (used also?) bikes and hopefully get to test ride one or two..........And then I go hug my Quota-My True Love !!!! The Kid :woohoo:
 
Guzkid,
Before I bought my Quota my wife said NO! so I went and looked around and found a deal on a demo bike. I brought the brocure home and told her I was buying it and that it was a bargain. She relented, said she didnt want to hear any whining if I got hurt. I had just kept talking about it. I think she got tired of hearing me. Then financed it through the credit union so she would not see the payment each month to remind her.
Being the tinkerer that I am I started making exhaust systems. Now I have the 2 bikes. When there are other bikes in the garage she isnt sure which is mine.
Read an article about a guy who collected guns. When he started out the wife always knew how many guns he had. He would takethem apart and bring them in in pieces that he said he picked up at a yard sale. After a while the wife referred to them as "all those guns". Thats when he knew he was in, she lost count.
Women dont realize a guy has to have "Things" no matter what it is. I buy tools, welders and motorcycles.
 
Hi ,i do abit of off roading and would like to turn up on something different it would still be in use on roads so tyre information would be of interest .Any of you took your bikes off road ?any information that might be of interest would be welcome.
 
Johnno, we have a guy in Las Vegas that is a pretty hardcore off-roader on his Quota. I'll try and get him to post here. Otherwise Papasloan can likely comment more on his behalf.
 
I will share my secret with you. When I add a new Guzzi, I just tell the missus we're storing it for Pete Roper, it started a number of years ago when Pete's buddy dropped off an Indian for a few months, then Pete's Scura is here, now I just keep Pete's fleet running and batteries charged.... it works for me, and pete has been known to travel all over the US, I'm sure for the asking, Pete will validate to your missus by email.....

Thanks. i must be mad but this bike really got my interest
 
Talk about multible bikes...........A few years ago "Franz" from the "Spare Parts Company" in philly told me when he as a dealer for Guzzi, he had a customer buy a new bike about every year or so, the only odd thing, is Franz had to paint the new bike gloss black before he would take delivery of it. After this went on for a few years, Franz aske the guy 'what's up with painting all your bikes black?' He said his customer had lots of bikes and when he met his wife, they came to an agreement for him to sell them all except for one. Well the one he kept was an old norton if I remember. So when it came time to purchase a newer bike, he painted all of them black so she never new he got a new bike for all those years. To her there was always a black motorycle in the garage :eek:hmy:
