Hello all, I’ve just joined the club and just bought my first Guzzi, a V7 Stone. I’ve not got my license yet, doing it this month, no idea if I’ll even like a moto guzzi, having never even ridden anything else yet except my cg125 that i’ve been running around on the last couple of months! I do like a nice community and it looks like there is one here, so I hope to join you all soon on a ride or two and see if I get the bug!

welcome and good luck. you’ve chosen wisely with Moto Guzzi. people will look admiringly and notice that you ride something _different_. good advice there to seek out your local branch meetings. if only to have a place to ride _to_!
learn to tell people it is “moto _gootsy_” - like the two zz’s in piZZa. 🙃

Welcome to the group. You’ll enjoy the V7. They are quite different to most bikes so it may be a good thing that it’s your first bike. Give it time to get used to it before really forming an opinion of it. It took me a few weeks to really understand mine and learn how it likes to be ridden. Just be prepared to want more of them.
