I finally got a GRiSO

Hello to all from a happy new GRiSO owner. I recently added a 2006 GRiSO 1100 to the stable and can't stop smiling. This is a bike I've wanted since I first heard, then saw one back around 2009. I've owned a lot of bikes over the years (BMWs, Triumphs, Ducatis, Harleys and Japanese) and I don't think I've ever seen a bike as aesthetically pleasing as the GRiSO. The one I picked up is a red 2006, with only 15 000 km's. Mistral exhaust, tail tidy and bar end mirrors. My first Guzzi so I have a bit of learning to do, joined here to see what experiences others have had and maybe for a bit of technical advice from time to time. cheers Paul

welcome to the ghetto!
I applaud your choice of GRiSO.... Red and a 2 valve cheers

- yes I know the rest will chime in with claims of technological superiority with all their fancy roller rockery jiggery pokery... but the ditch pump is a simple beast that just goes and goes and goes!
check all the regular things, swing arm bearing grease and the like, and get out enjoy those hills before it gets too cold Very Happy

Welcome. If it was any other year, you would have been inundated with all sorts of Guzzis around this time year, heading to & from the Ruptured Budgie just up the road from you. Faces to names, advice bantered freely, and all that sort of stuff. Looks like we'll be putting that off for a while, but there's always later on.

thanks for reminding me Mal-I..... Sad

Now they are proposing 1st June for travel within the state - by which time that divot in the corner could be quite deep. You might need a ladder to get out. We shall have to see if we can't organise a visit then, with block & tackle.
