1975 Moto Guzzi 850T

[@wellshutchins6885]

I loved the 850T I bought new in '75. I was hoping my '22 V7 850 Special would give me the same experience... it doesn't.

Why so, what is the principal difference? (Stone owner here)

I had a BMW R80/7, 40 years ago. Man i loved that tingaling, especially cruising at 3500-4000 rpm... Great music.

[@Alcyon99]

Nice little trip! Now I'm going to check your channel and see if you have anything about the Vincent by the curb...

[@hollowaysteve]

I like that a lot. Whoever put those horrific indicators on should be soundly thrashed however...

[@TheMightyGarage]

Haha! It's a work in progress ;)

I just read a comment about the the turn signals from six years ago and I respond with this: Don't care... I had to look a second time to even see the blinkers. Like my earlier bikes, if they came with them I took them off like I did with my new '75 850T; you know... save all that weight and blinkers were for wussies* --- *Apparently from the warning I got, I can't call them what we actually did back then but it rhymes with wussie and starts with with a "P." Back then real men just used hand signals. Does the younger generation even know how to make a hand signal? Is it even taught any more? - BTW, now I always use my turn signals.

Great video, you captured the sound and essence of the guzzi lovely, only one problem, can you take it out for a longer ride next time, excellent camera position, cheers from the uk

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hehe, thanks Alan! Best wishes, Mike

Nice Guzzi very nice.

Same tank as my i convert. Mine is a 1976 by title but it was built in 1975. Quality machine that is built well enough to last a life time. Issues? Yes. An alternator upgrade will fix one of them and a new shifting fork and whatever else is needed to get that i convert dual range trans to shift into those ranges instead of stuck in a false neutral. 3 sets of brake pads. No need for an engine rebuild at 55,000 miles thought

Use of indicators is helpful to car drivers. I know I ride bikes and drive cars.

[@debmessier5059]

Love the seat .. who is it from ??

[@chrisshort2751]

What type of seat do you have?

[@Tomarebuela]

what kind of exhaust did you put on?

[@zener81]

that bike longs to be ridden above 4500 - they live for 90mph sweepers

[@marcoautiero]

Where do you live? It seems wonderfull
