Hello from Bertha

Post by Dickyboy »

Hopefully there is a picture of Bertha below, let the derision commence...

ImageDSC_0137 by Dicky Boy 500, on Flickr[/img]

Owned by me for the past 14yrs and aside from blowing all her oil over the back tyre, destroying two crank sensors, one fuel pump and an ecu she's never let me down, sadly not ridden much in the past 8yrs & looking like I'm gonna swap he for an r1200gs soon so that me & mrs db can go on trips together.

Edit, picture fail - how do I get one off flickr successfully?

The IMG tags just needed a tweak.

I bought a Guzzi too, a V7II Special, but I've always had a strange urge to buy a 1100 Sport.

For Flickr it's easiest to use desktop site and the BBcode option to link it

Welcome in.!!

Welcome in new bloke, try some of the other big ADV bikes before settling on a GS, German build quality isnt what it used to be ;)

Indeed, you should have a look at a Guzzi Stelvio as a GS alternative!
