Linda in Oz - Moto Guzzi

Riding in Beautiful Gippsland

Hi all,

Just another sister from down under. Love the website and thought I should add my bit.

Just completed 1500km on my new (second hand) 1998 Moto Guzzi California EV - happily I call her Evie. (Not very original but it suits her) Bought her on 10 September with just 37K on the clock. I've just retired my Suzuki GSX 550 ES that I've owned and ridden for the last 20 years. The Suzi's in mint original condition and I'm preparing her for sale. Evie's the third Guzzi I've owned and a shear delight. I bought both a V50 Mark 11 and V65 "off the docks" sight unseen in 1980 and 1982 respectively. Read about them and just couldn't resist.

I've been riding for 34 years, never stopped. Had my two sons and carried them from babes in a double side car on a 1000GL Goldwing. Then pillion, but not that often, mostly out for 'me time" by myself when they were young.

Hopefully I can attach a photo of Evie. Enjoy your riding everyone.
