Hi everyone, my first post here. I just bought a GRiSO 850 two days ago. Though the weather will keep me waiting for riding a few weeks more, see picture of my backyard today attached below….
I own a 1952 BSA A7, but the time for keeping it running was just too much, and it’s been waiting for better days in the garage for a few years now. So I’m hoping for trouble free kilometers on the road with the GRiSO. Can’t wait to be in the saddle! And will probably lurk here quite a lot in the meantime.

Thanks, got a bunch of maintenance receipts and a service book so all should be in order to start with. And it’s only driven 36K km.
Regarding the rollerize thing isn’t that just for the 8 valve models?

Yeah, no need to worry about that for your 850.
Congratulations and welcome to the Ghetto!

Despite its low Kms it will need its swingarm bearings and shock linkage bearings to be inspected and packed. Other than that you're on pretty safe ground with the 850. They're a smashing little bike, enjoy.

Thanks Bioman! I'm afraid that it will take a few weeks til it's safe to ride, still snowing outside as I write this...

Welcome to the Ghetto. I hope that snow melts soon; I plan to be riding a gravel bike (notaGriso) in Lahti next June…

Thank you! I’ll keep watch on the event calendars for the local Guzzi meetup, sounds like fun!
PS, love the tenni color GRiSO! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thanks, and welcome yourself to Finland. It can be really nice in June though that’s still pretty early summer.

Hi, yesterday I got Gruppo's club letter, and this year meeting will be at August 18-20th, and place is Kristalliranta located at Säkylä, middle of Turku and Tampere. Before that event there are also Northern Gruppo meeting in June 16-18th. And place for that is Loma-Vietonen, near Rovaniemi, Lapland. Just before midsummer festival, sun is shining all day (and night) long. Jani

Bjor, according your avatar, you ride a Tenni GRiSO also? Do you happen to know, how many Tenni GRiSO's are cruising around Norway? In Finland I haven't seen other than mine in live. Some years ago there was another one for sale, but never saw that either. Recently I saw some used Tenni parts in sale at one shop, which sell used bike parts. Can't help but thinking that maybe that bike was wrecked somehow. Jani

Here’s the first one I took of it.
