I just fulfilled a long term desire to own a Le Mans by securing a Mark 3 from another AIGOR member.
I started with a BMW F650GS after getting back on a bike folowing a 30 year hiatus. I had a blast on the BM and decided I needed a bit more flat top riding. I traded for a Nevada which was a little too small for a bloke my size and then to the Norge which I think is just perfect for what I want. My partner rides a California EV and got me started on the Guzzis. They go great out and about.
I'm new to Guzzi and loving it ! Hopefully i will connect with other owners with much more knowledge than myself.
Story
age: G'day , my name is Graeme Herbert and I live in Coffs Harbour NSW and own / ride a California EV which is always surprising others on how well she performs. I am an active member of the Coffs Coast Group of the Ulysses club.
Started with Honda SL125 (trail bikes huhhh they teach you how to fall with style), Ducati 500GT, Honda Shadow and the final indignation that comes with marriage, a 1979 Honda CB 250 twin. Thankfully back to all things Italian now and am very happy with V7. Hey to all the guys in Qld Club Branch.
Immature and of pensionable age, but can't abide being seen on a 'cruiser' or trike. Obviously like a challenge as I have Italian bikes. Live in an area with lots of two-lane blacktop with infrequent tourists/travellers. Ridden for the best part of a half century, on & off. Sometimes the 'off' really hurt. Wish that the Daytona had a sixth gear...
I have just bought this bike and so far its great. I also have a Triumph Tiger which will now be used for touring only. Look forward to hearing from you.
I'm a territory boy since I was 4 years old, this is my second Guzzi; had a Mk II Cali but that burnt to the ground with the house I was in. Looked for ages & couldn't find another so bought the SP, purchased with passion so I'm still working on it. The AJS is a wet-season project; so far 3 wet seasons but hopefully this one will see it on the road! NT is a great place, but seriously lacks corners...
Love riding my MkIII . Seriously considering the race track and trying to find a class that suits.
