A little piece of Italy in the Mid-West

Greetings all.  Just purchased a 2014 GRiSO with only 2040 miles on it.  Think I got a good deal on it.  Don't know yet.  It is at Aces Motorcycle in Fort Collins, CO getting a full set of new fluids and look over.  Pretty sure it is still on the original fluids.  I've always known about Moto Guzzi, but never felt the pull.  Until, ...  

Local pawn shop had a 2017 V7 50th Anniversary edition, 5000 miles.  It had been sitting out front for about 15 months.  Took me about 3 weeks to convince myself to part with the money.  45 minutes before I got there, it got loaded up into someone else's truck.  They told me they had another MG at another store.  What the heck, might as well go look at it.  Much better looking bike in person than it was in the pictures.  I was instantly intrigued.  3 days later, it came home with me. 2 days after that, I drove it from Omaha, NE to Fort Collins.  Omaha's a nice town, but there isn't a MG dealer anywhere close.

Welcome! My buddies Diablo Nero has black badges, while yours has ‘proper’ red.

I like it.

Pawn shop? Really?

While you're near Fort Collins, explore the roads. Poudre Canyon, and the roads from that down to Horsetooth Reservoir are good, particularly Rist Canyon Road.

Oh, and WELCOME!!!!!

Thanks all. I will have plenty of questions. I already have a list. Trying to find out if they are unique or not. Search engines and I don't get along. (Really, it's a thing. Done experiments with my wife.) First, I just want to get it back from the shop and start learning all the things that give it "character".
