Hi Tom and welcome to Guzzi ownership.
You are in good company and this is the one and only forum you will need for good advice and friendly encouragement.
Im in Australia so cant help with local dealer advice - unless you come for a trip over here !
but Guzzi folk use word of mouth more than anything. You will discover a new world of friends come with being a Guzzi owner.
Many are proficient at maintaining these bike thru learnt experience.
Do the steps suggested , like a fine red wine - your bike and your relationship with it will improve with age.......
Clean fuel system, good earths and connectors , that fixes most Guzzi quirks.....so you can enjoy riding

Appreciate the welcome Dave! The amount of helpful information I've already received is really encouraging. I'm still searching for a local shop to do things I can't such as mounting new tires and other more specialized tasks, but I may have found one in the area and will be sure to update when I find out more.
