Both on two and four wheels, as well as the wrist

Do you ever have reliability problems with them? I would love to get another older bike, my last was a 996, but man, it was heartbreakingly unreliable in the hot HK humid summers!!

You will find out that Moto Guzzi's, although seen by some as exotic are very reliable and low maintenance because a) the engine has been developed for ages and is bullet proof and b) the transmission type is the best you can have being without any chains or belts.
I hope this helps!
All the best,
Alex

On the first pic i see a well ridden rear tire ;-)

I'm also a fan of the Guzzis. And if I'm not mistaken Ruby helmets.

Congratulations - they look realy nice. Who made the tank?

I shall dig out a picture of my V7.

I think he is no longer doing this, since he had to stop 6 years ago due to illness.
Thank you for your message and best regards,
Alex

I'd had an alloy tank made for a Norton Commando (after numerous futile attempts at repairing the original). Beautiful workmanship from a true craftsman - but with an 18 month waiting list I opted to go for a steel replacement tank on my 73 V7 Sport. Was really impressed that it was even possible to source one - coincidentally that also came from Germany.

The old Guzzis are a fun ride with their own distinct personality. I envy you being able to ride them on twisty European roads.

Best,

Carl

I love both models you have. I am sure they are fun to ride even on non-European twisty roads

I hope you enjoy many sunny and enjoyable rides while here winter is on the gates. Apparently 0 degrees on Saturday and snowing..

Lovely ladies each and every one. LOL

Thanks for sharing.

That tank is beautiful.
A friend of mine is a Moto Guzzi guy... He has a one owner Le Mans Mk1, an original V7, an Ambassador and just got rid of his carbed 1100 Sport. The Le Mans is just the thing for loping fast rides around his area.
How do you find the Griso? The one I had a ride on seemed the antithesis of the compact and low Guzzis I love (same goes for then 1100 Sport...I desired one....until I rode one)

The Griso has become an addiction and (by far) the best and most enjoyable motorcycle I have owned during the last 15 years. It is fast, it has a wonderful engine that has tons of torque but also very aggressive high end power, but what I love the most is the character of the bike. Its unique style combined to the engine movement and roar is just amazing. I hate to say so good words for my motorcycle but I have ridden Ducs, MVs, Triumphs and Beemers and nothing beats the Griso.
Wonderful for in town or countryside backroads.
I hope this input is helpful.
All the very best my friend,
Alex

Both the Guzzi and the Ruby Pavillon are beautiful. We, here, share a lot of passions. My choice of helmets and bikes.

Your choices are wonderful as well. We also share similar watch passions from what I see in your pictures. Although I only have the simple 5711 Nautilus.
Love the RNineT which would he the only alternative for the Griso in the market to my eyes.
I hope you enjoy lots of sunny trips on your girls
