Moto Guzzi Stuff

[Al Gorithum]

My Uncle is President of the Moto Guzzi owners club and lives in Mandello. He’s a dyed in the wool Guzzi guy and well known for it. Spent last weekend with the family and went to the museum again. Still find it impressive that the first bike in 1921 had 4 valves and overhead cam.

Some photos for anyone interested

Nice! I was talking to a young guy at work who likes new Guzzis and he didn't believe me when I said they used to make a 500cc V8.

I had to show him and he just kept saying "no wayyyy"

Yes it's a hell of a thing, especially considering the vintage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_Guzzi_V8

The designer's house is in a lovely location by the lake.
