I just read a comment about the the turn signals from six years ago and I respond with this: Don't care... I had to look a second time to even see the blinkers. Like my earlier bikes, if they came with them I took them off like I did with my new '75 850T; you know... save all that weight and blinkers were for wussies* --- *Apparently from the warning I got, I can't call them what we actually did back then but it rhymes with wussie and starts with with a "P." Back then real men just used hand signals. Does the younger generation even know how to make a hand signal? Is it even taught any more? - BTW, now I always use my turn signals.

Same tank as my i convert. Mine is a 1976 by title but it was built in 1975. Quality machine that is built well enough to last a life time. Issues? Yes. An alternator upgrade will fix one of them and a new shifting fork and whatever else is needed to get that i convert dual range trans to shift into those ranges instead of stuck in a false neutral. 3 sets of brake pads. No need for an engine rebuild at 55,000 miles thought
Great video, you captured the sound and essence of the guzzi lovely, only one problem, can you take it out for a longer ride next time, excellent camera position, cheers from the uk

I loved the 850T I bought new in '75. I was hoping my '22 V7 850 Special would give me the same experience... it doesn't.
Why so, what is the principal difference? (Stone owner here)
Loud valves save lives!! ;-) JW

I had a BMW R80/7, 40 years ago. Man i loved that tingaling, especially cruising at 3500-4000 rpm... Great music.
Nice little trip!
Now I'm going to check your channel and see if you have anything about the Vincent by the curb...
Nice Guzzi very nice.

Hehe, thanks Alan! Best wishes, Mike
I like that a lot. Whoever put those horrific indicators on should be soundly thrashed however...
Haha! It's a work in progress ;)
and dont forget the Mirrors...
Otherwise, its a beauteful ol Moto Guzzi. Greetings from Lamspringe Germany, from Daniel.
Use of indicators is helpful to car drivers. I know I ride bikes and drive cars.
Love the seat .. who is it from ??
What type of seat do you have?
what kind of exhaust did you put on?
that bike longs to be ridden above 4500 - they live for 90mph sweepers
Where do you live? It seems wonderfull
Ciao Marco, I live in Portland, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, but am originally from Britain. Best wishes, Mike
