Hi all! So to add to an eclectic list of motorcycles I’ve owned yesterday I picked up a 2001 guzzi California 1100 EV. Bit of a barn find (I say barn, it was a very nice garage) it has been stored since 2013 and only has 5000 miles on it. I’ve never had a Guzzi before, most of my bikes have been Japanese sports bikes. Currently still own a Honda CBR 1100 xx blackbird. My landlord commented that although the engines are the same size the bikes are like chalk and cheese together :joy:. I’m already impressed by how easy it is to access things and really looking forward (hopefully with a little technical help) to getting her up to scratch! First thing first that oil has too come out! It stinks of petrol!

That looks ike a great example. You will certainly find it to be a lot different to any japanese sports bike. If you need a hand with any items, Baldricks Workshop shouldn’t be too far away from you Baldricks workshop, Leatherhead in Surrey. 07536 116 176
If you need workshop manuals, parts books, user manual etc then you should be able to find them on line here

Beautiful looking Cali and such low miles! Well done you! :+1:
