Hey Friends!

Hello everybody!
Greetings from Italy. I'm Giovanni and I've a GRiSO, that's why GriGio, since early 2007 (it's a first release).
Some of you already know me as I'm a very big and enthusiastic fan of this bike.
I pass a lot of time on him, trying to find out the deep soul...racing soul, with an eye to reliability, something tuned that can be used without worries.
When I bought my GRiSO, he was a rough diamond (actually the crankshaft is really rough due to production cost savings...but this is another story), year-by-year I'm making what should be IMHO he's real and fine shape, both outside and inside.

I had some other bikes, but they were just iron in my garage...then when I decided to buy a Ducati SC, a GRiSO was waiting for me...bought without testing, just confident at first sight.

Happy to be part of this community, I hope to be back in US as soon, so you can provide lot of suggestion on a GRiSO point of view.

Cheers!
 

Welcome. I love your GRiSO. How did you come up with the name: GRiSO RS 1.2 Golden Age?

What did I do???
I found a green vertical bar on the right side of the post with a "+" at the top and a "-" at the bottom.
So I clicked the "+" and then I found out that I just cast a vote.

Aye yai yai.
I guess I "liked" the post??
Guess I need to quit screwing around and go ride my GRiSO.

Welcome to the ghetto Giovanni! Glad to see several of you Italians coming over here from the mother forum. A little transoceanic exchange is always good, and we'll look forward to the announcement of your next visit to the states.

One of our members, "[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]" (Brock from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) is heading over to Milan this week and will be staying at Mamma Ciccia's in Mandello del Lario for the next two weeks. So let him know if there are any GRiSO Alcolico gatherings going on in the area!

Yes, every time you "like" a post by clicking the + sign in the corner, you hand out a little ghetto cred™ to the author.

Welcome Giovanni,
as steak said, I will be in Mandello from Thursday this week to Saturday next week - let me know if there is anything coming up, it would be nice to meet up for a beer!

Some day I will figure out what I'm doing.

Thanks for the welcome
@Guzziboy. RS is because the fork is coming from a RSV1000R Factory kit, 1.2 due to displacement increase and Golden Age is Ohlins brand color.

@Landman. I put a note into the italian forum: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Hope that someone can join you and let you see Mandello from a home-born point of view.
I already can suggest a couple of events:
- 3/30 River Po outfall tour- a bit far and there will be a riding tour ( [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ) - Italian topic here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
- 3/30 GRiSO on track @ Castelletto di Branduzzo ( [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ) - Topic here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
