When I just put 2,400 miles on a Moto Guzzi over 6 weeks, I am an enthusiast. Perhaps even a biker.

For real, prof ? Then, now you are a Guzzisto !

I put 3,500 miles on my GZ in a year. I don't feel like a biker - bikers ride bicycles or harleys. More like a motorcycle user.

I am surprised how easily the miles come on the Guzzi. Last Sunday's 160 mile ride was one I never wanted to end. I don't commute on it, since 4.5 miles is better done on bicycle for fitness and city traffic thickness.

Just for the fun of riding, that's what it's all about, right?

Ride the way you want, and when you want. It’s all about choice.
Be safe and enjoy it your way!
I ride whenever, and where ever possible.
Hot or Cold, day or night (I stay out of the rain when possible, not a fun ride to me)
I ride because I enjoy it. The fact that I save a little on gas is just a bonus.
It’s an adventure ever time…

I'm not a biker. I'm a motorcyclist.

Real bikers do not care if they are considered "Real bikers"
