Hello, my name is Gary Hargrove

About Me...

My home town: El Paso, Texas

Country I live in: US

My Occupation: Retired law enforcement

How I found Squadra Guzzista: search for Moto Guzzi

More about me...

How long have I been riding bikes? 41 years

Why Moto Guzzi? Always liked them and wanted one. I've owned many other brands, including 17 Harleys, but never a Moto Guzzi

How/when I first became interested in Moto Guzzi: We tried the T3 as a possible police motorcycle in the 1970's. Kawasaki got the bid. I liked the Moto Guzzi

My main type of riding is (competition/pleasure/commute/work): Daily transportation and long distance touring

About my Guzzi...

What is it (model/year): Classic V7

How long I have owned it: About two months

Is this my first Moto Guzzi: Yes

Other Guzzis in my stable: No

Modifications I have made and why: Windscreen, saddlebags and soon to add an engine guard for touring.

The bike's main purpose is: Daily transportation and touring

It's quirks: None, so far

How it compares with other bikes I've owned: Small and handles great. Power to weight is great.

What it's like to live with: Handles well. Not too big. Just fits me.

What it's like to ride: Nice and smooth

My bike's most appealing feature is: Its retro appearance

My bike's best feature is: Its looks

Would I recommend one like it to my best friend?: Yes

Would I own another, given the chance: Yes

General Guzzi stuff...

What I think of current Guzzi models: I researched most models, but I'm drawn more to the retro style of the V7

If I could, the one I'd buy tomorrow: California Vintage or a 70's police Ambassador or Eldorado

My all time favourite Guzzi: 1970's Ambassador and Eldo police models

If I were boss at Mandello I would: Keep the factory right there and continue to build great motorcycles
