Hi just joined the club. Iv had many bikes over 50 odd years but this is my first Guzzi.

Gotta say, that bike is astonishingly clean, and quite different too.
Like you, my V7 is my first Guzzi (in 46 years of riding for me) but I’m enjoying it.
Welcome 
Nice plate too..
Welcome. Great club and forum and I agree. What an outstanding bike! My first Guzzi too. V7. I love it.
Thanks yes the bike is virtually like new even though it’s done 16000 miles, well cared for. Also nice private plate, one off paint job from new, front and rear suspension upgrades and Mistral exhausts.
It’s certainly a lovely thing indeed! Hope you enjoy and welcome.

you have a great 1st guzzi there however like a lot of us you may fin dkit difficult to have “only” one! 
What a looker – and that plate!
Welcome Cokey, and enjoy!
I probably won’t be looking for a second Guzzi also have an Enfield Continental GT. The wife thinks two bikes are more than enough. ​​​

Yes that is possible but dangerous and potentially expensive, I’m on my third wife and have four bikes in the garage (one of them is her’s though!)

PS welcome Cokey to the forum, by the way it is not usual for marriage guidance on here but I could not resist after Steve’s comment! Sorry
This is my second wife, been with her 27 years, shes a keeper. She doesn’t mind the bikes, had a Yamaha XS650 herself quite a few years ago. She does think two is enough and I cant grumble at that.
If she managed to live with an XS650 she’s a trooper (says a former XS2 owner).
Welcome to the world of Guzzidom!
Bought my first Guzzi, a V7 850 Special two years ago, and absolutely love it.
Character, presence, individuality and quirky, great after many years on Hondas.
Still have a CL360K0 street scrambler in the garage though.
The paint finish on yours is just lovely. I wonder what it would cost to do a tank, two side panels and a front mudguard. 
Total inspired.
