After years in the auto industry, I can respect a company that finds out about a problem and addresses it quickly. Good on Guzzi.

OK This is where it is at:—— I am a 73 year old ADVENTURE rider and have been employed in all aspects of the motor trade since I started my working career ——– My stable is refuge for 10 different types & makes of motorcycles ——– Most are Japanese the rest are out of EUROPE ——– I don’t normally go looking for an argument on internet forums but I feel that I must give support to the people at MOTO GUZZIE ——– Firstly I would like to repeat “ANDREW’S” POST word for word ——- He read GUZZIE’S STATEMENT and like myself understood every word ——- Machining of machinery parts to-day are done on or with CNC machine centers —- They may have 30 or so different tools cutters that do different operations , every time a tool is changed it goes to a zero point as a position check for the program to keep the operation accurate ——– The actual cutter is very small and very very .high quality and BLOODY HARD ——— These tiny cutter pieces can BECOME CHIPPED because of many reasons ——- manually dropped —– swarf build up —– securing bolt vibrating loose ——- 99.5 % of the time the computer will pick it up and stop the operation & report the problem ——– Now I could name one respected huge motorcycle manufacturer that has made more errors than a small child ——– Do they do an INSTANT RECALL? They hide the fact and hope the bike will grow a new correct part by itself ——– MOTO GUZZIE have done the correct brave thing ——– THEY ARE THINKING OF THE SAFETY OF THE RIDER & OTHER ROAD USERS ——– I know of one manufacturer that had a problem with the machining of the depth of a CIRCLIP GROOVE ——- Circlip pops out —- gear free to move along shaft and the rest is history ——- bike is totally out of control —— This had to happen many times before the bikes were instructed to be grounded until recall completed.

Now I don’t know who BCT IS OR WHAT QUALIFICATION HE MAY HAVE ——- I don’t even know how old he is? ——– “FOOT REST NO BIG DEAL” unless it locks up the rear wheel ! —– “WHY DOES THE SEAL LEAK?” ——- If Mr BCT READS THE post more clearly HE WILL UNDERSTAND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS READ IT THAT THE SHAFT HAD A SHARP EDGE ON IT’S END AFTER THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.——– I don’t know why this gentleman made these nasty statements about MOTO GUZZIE ——- Something in this man’s life has left a dirty taste in this man’s mouth ——-

This type of bike has been a long time coming ——– it has received LOTS OF WORLD WIDE REVIEWS ——- Just in looks alone it has CLEANED UP THE FLOOR so to speak.

To put into production a completely new product is a huge gamble

Moto Guzzie has WON THAT GAMBLE and I can see their FUTURE AS BEING STRONG

Facts about the writer! 1 I have never ridden a Moto Guzzie
2 I don’t own any of their shares
3 I don’t sell them
4 I MUST ADMIT THAT I DO LIKE SPAGHETTI HA! HA! HA!

Job well done to the MOTO GUZZIE FAMILY.
