Its good to be a part of this amazing site as am realizing after purchasing a new 09 Griso that several problems might arise over a period of time. I'm not mechanically minded and must admit that after reading some of these posts am wondering what I've got myself into. However, I love the bike and have put about 1200kms on her over a short period of time. Its breaking in fine and will be taking her for the first service next week. Having owned maintenance free bikes for years, and must admit, boring rides compared to the character this machine has, I hope my pocket book can stand the test of time. I got hooked after attending the Guzzi Rally in John Day, Oregon this summer. Taking the Grisso 1200 8V for a demo. ride was the clincher.
Anyway, I'm glad this site is here and know there is a wealth of knowledge to draw from in case there are any quirks in the future. Seems to me there will be as certain design flaws are going to crop up at some point from moisture problems in the instrument panel to cracks in the exhaust system. I'll have to get a windscreen on her soon as live on Vancouver Island were we are wet for 9 months of the year. Thanks for reading and hope to have some meaningful conversations with some of you in the future.
