I was having this conversation at ( a rare thing ) my local Guzzi dealer, because I was confused why MG would name a bike after a villain The book, ‘The Betrothed’ is by my reading chair, where to my shame I am halfway through it. It’s an interesting book but a heavy read & my attention driffted. So in the conversation we learned that, later in the book, Griso who has been sent off to do the bad guy’s dirty deeds turns on his master & saves the day. This is a book that I understand is part of the Italian school curriculum, so Griso is known as a hero in the culture. When I finish the book, I’ll add more details

London in the early ‘80’s, many of the dispatch riders had Mk l / ll LeMans & that glorious sound

I am very happy with my Termignoni & Beetle map

A nicely illustrated ride Bill. One day I’ll tag along for the riding as well as the mutton.

Same? Maybe Intoxicating ? Oh yes !

Audiomike, your link explains where I’d picked up the idea there was V7 club racing, I was likely on the Guareschi website. Yes, we are lucky to have Admin & Docc keeping this site alive & going

Thanks all. Considering the popularity of the V7, I’m surprised there isn’t a dedicated website. A place where you can look up past threads & learn more about your machine. I never found FB to be very useful in that way.

I heard somewhere that there was active V7 Club racing in Italy but have never been able to find much about that. So from that I’d assumed there was a V7 enthusiasts page somewhere. I’ll pass that on . Cheers

A friend & relatively new rider, recently stepped up to a Moto Guzzi V7. They asked me if there was a website I could recommend. This lead me to wondering, I spend time on 2 model specific sites, the V11 Sport & Griso, where members ask questions about the V7. But is there a V7 specific site ?

Is that a Fairbairn Sykes Docc ?

I’m a bit late to the party here, but has anyone taken Andreani up on the offer ? My bike has the later Marzocchi forks with preload & rebound adjustment on each leg, no compression adjustment that I am aware of.

I will endeavor to take pictures of me with a beer in the company of any Guzzista’s I meet with motorbikes in the background. 👍

Coming up next Saturday in Cincinnati is the custom & modified build bike show held, for free ( threw that in for the suspender snapping Guzzista’s ) at the Rhinegeist Brewery, Cincinnati. It’s a reason for me to get out the house & dream of warm days to come. And maybe drink a beer 😁 & see a friend or two https://garagebrewed.com

Enjoyed that memory; as an 18 year old my Dad hit his mid life crisis & bought the 2.0 four cylinder model that came before the V6. I fell in love with the sound of the engine, the look of the car & the handling

Motorcycles aren’t so very much more dangerous than horses, it’s the other drivers that make the situation worse. Great photograph there !

Who wants to have a go at this first ? Here’s a kit that looks like it contains everything needed but the carbon fiber https://www.carbonfiberglass.com/Fiberglass-mold-kit-economy

I recently found this Youtube video on suspension valving, it clearly illustrates & explains this nebulous topic https://youtu.be/dRekn0iRiRs

I’m probably on the wrong thread, but on one of the discussions of forks, Lucky Phil made the comment that you could get Andreani cartridge inserts for the V11. Intrigued, I went looking, https://www.ebay.com/itm/112664548144?hash=item1a3b549330:g:PoIAAOSwovNaH91O At that price it’s a great deal for hopefully a plug & play piece of equipment

Thanks Leroysch,

You need a least one of the 1200 Griso’s

Answered my own question https://superbikeschool.com Started by Keith Code

Guys, Anyone know of, have experience with https://www.superbike-coach.com Stories & anecdotes welcome I thought this was the bike school run by Keith Code but didn’t initially see any reference to him

I haven’t figured out how to get to articles I’m searching for using the sites search function, however doing a search on Google usually gets me there.

True. Cross out Grisoghetto & write in ‘V11LeMans’

Grisoghetto. Those guys are hoarders over there, some of them have 2 Grisos justifying it as ‘one for around town & one for out of town’. You’ll only get one of them to part with a Griso at the funeral ! Just saying. 😆
