I have to say what a cracking bike to ride, Only had it a few weeks and done nearly 500 miles already. I had to laugh when my horn bracket broke, never seen such a flimsy design. Glad i had a mechano set when i was young as soon fixed with a thicker bracket!!! Got the guzzi bug now, more fun that jap bikes hahahahaha

Much underrated bike.
There have been a few people looking at 750s as a more manageable/enjoyable bike to ride.
Older Guzzis used to have a horn btacket made of leaves of thin plate (a bit like feeler guages all in the same size). The theory was that a flexible mount would last longer,
Do you have a club branch nearby?
Have fun

The Mrs has got that fed up with me nicking her Nevada, she has let me get a Breva.
 
The Nevada's are fun. I took hers for a 1000 miles round Scotland in early April and then down to the Wiltshire camp over. I have clocked a little over 1500 miles on her bike this year. LOL Cost me a new back tyre for it though. Confused

I joined when I got the V1000 in 1989 BUT didn't get "involved in the Rallies or anything until 1991 ... That 94 Int would have been at Litchfield Rugby Club I think
