My name is Jon and I live in Chatham in the county of Kent in England.

I have been riding bicycles since I was about 4 years old and motorcycles since I was 17. I have ridden all sorts of motorcycles over the years from Suzuki's and Yamahas to Triumphs and Harley Davidson's. Throughout my tumultuous ownership of a variety of motorcycles I have often owned Moto Guzzi motorcycles (seven at last count) and I have come to the conclusion over the last ten years that Moto Guzzi's are the best damn motorcycles in the world. I am, without doubt, a Moto Guzzi fan.

Moto Guzzi's owned and ridden:

'82 V50 Mk.3 (still own)
'00 California Jackal (sold)
'98 Quota 1100ES (Sold)
'00 California Jackal (Sold) ... Yep, second Jackal, same year, same colour!
'98 V10 Centauro (Sold)
'02 California EV 1100 Touring (Destroyed in road side fire)
'03 California Special Sport Aluminium
