Hi all from cold and miserable Wiltshire, picked up my GRiSO ten days ago, so enjoying it - have managed a hundred miles so far. She needs a couple of bits sorting (mode switch not functioning, running a bit lumpy at low revs) but she's a one previous owner, good service history, low miles 09 8V that's been rollerised.
Quick Q - any good Guzzi specialists in the S/SW not far from here?

Welcome Ed.....Jon aka Icjohnny should know the dealers question (he's in Bristol area); else it's dead easy to fix pretty much anything yourself with a few tools/laptop/free SW..

Hi Brodhurst. Welcome
I am up the road in Bristol and I did not find any dealers that i would trust with the Guzzi.
However it is pretty simple and the workshop books are on this site
Plus there is a load of expertise here - just be patient - when you ask your first idjit-questions (we all did) some of the experts who have been answering the same question since 2009 may go sarcastic on you.
But an Englishman who cannot hold his sarcasm shouldn't own a Guzzi.

I'm already dealing with it (easily) but I reckon being Welsh helps
Thanks!

I know that the English can be cruel to the Welsh but you shouldn't have let them send you to Swindon!!
Anyway if you want to chew over Guzzi thoughts pop me a PM it can be a nice ride through Tetbury or Calne when it gets warmer.
