Heading out to colorado in september to work and was thinking of getting a bike to rent and making a vacation out of it... anybody have a guzzi I can rent from them for a few days? or know anyone.
Hell actually any bike as long as it isn't a sportbike or harley

Figured I'd try again--

Headed to the PNW in October (Seattle Specifically)

Eagle Rider only has big harleys and BMW GS's that I'm not tall enough to rent.

Any body have a guzzi/GRiSO they'd be willing to let me borrow for a day or two?
I'd pay, of course-

Or heck just about any bike would be cool.

Can't help you with the bike, but be sure to let us know when you're coming - good group of Guzzi folks here in the Seattle area.

No, I don't have that facility. I'm very basic. My website also needs updating, I tried once and stuffed it up.

You're right! Something must have upset it. There was a file missing, I dunno how that happened.

Anyhow, I fixed it (for now). But I need to update it. The Breva 1100 & Norge is no longer available (sold), and I have a GRiSO (soon) to add.

I don't do web sites often enough to know what I'm doing. Must be an age thing.

Thanks for letting me know.

Colorado Motorcycle Adventures rents non-Harley bikes HERE as does Tourbikes.com HERE

I would also check out Eagle Rider locations as several, including CO, offer bikes other than Harleys.

I would call Eagle Rider directly in Seattle to inquire about their inventory. I seem to recall a broader selection than may be listed on their website. Dick Guthrie, Washington Guzzi rep lives just down the street and pops in there regularly for a visit. There is a new manager there, Peter Hayes, with a long familial Guzzi pedigree (son of Patrick Hayes of California.) I can't say for sure, but there may be an acceptable option there for you.

Also, for a Guzzi guy, no visit to Seattle would be complete without spending a little time kicking tires up at Moto International just a few miles north of downtown.

Good luck, and fingers crossed for good riding weather while you visit the Emerald City.

A couple of years back I was planing a 14 day trip to California but the price for renting a decent (non Harley) bike for that period scared me off Crying or Very sad

Eaglerider rents a Stelvio and a V7 out of Vegas.

Prices are crazy Evil or Very Mad

I nearly converted one of my friends to Guzzi. He flew to Vegas to test ride an MGX. He ended up only being able to take a California out for a few hours and they charged him a few hundred rental. Refundable if he bought it. He is not buying a guzzi now - from that dealer at least.

Its too bad rental isn't more reasonable. I don't have the time to do a cross country tour and every time I'm out west I think how much more fun the trip would be on a bike. I'm thinking of sending my cycle out ahead, next time I plan a trip.

The pricing is a shame, look at the GPS rental unit, 210 dollar for 14 days. I want to rent the stupid thing, not buy it! Same for the bike.
