Moto Guzzi V7

Guzzigalore I travelled three years on the Guzzi. Coming from Deadhorse and going to Ushuaia. She never broke down on me. Just finished the trip. Guess I found the perfect bike.

It does not surprise me. When i see pictures of bikes and read spec sheets, I find I prefer older bikes, especially the late sixties Triumphs. I have to say though I like the appearance of teh MG Breva and V7 variants, but the only new bike I would consider buying is an Enfield.

Glad to see you made it mate
Been following your webiste for a while - well i've been re-reading the english parts and staring at the pictures, my dutch is no good

You said you had the engine rebuilt, did that guzzi have the chrome bores? - could you fill us in on anything else you had done other than the corbin seat?

I'm all for just riding what you have, good stuff
