No longer Grisoless in Northampton, Mass. USA

I just finalized an eBay purchase & picked up my new 2013 GRiSO with Termi pipe. Today I managed to drive over two hours, settle, load, and return. I insured and registered (no small feat as this included a trip to the RMV) and was able to fit in a short ride before dinner. It was a hustle but well worth it.
True to form, I made my purchase without ever haven ridden an example of this beast. I am not disappointed.

After having an accident with my beloved v11 Lemans Tenni that resulted in a total loss, I found myself searching for a new ride. This site has been a great resource as I honed my sights in on the right one. I am happy to have joined this sub-set of the Guzzi community. The spirit and camaraderie of Guzzi owners is one of the things that keeps me loyal to the marque. That and the fact that I just love the sound of an opposed V twin!

Welcome, Ross (if that's what we should call you, or H.E.R.?, H.E.?). Let's stick with Ross for now. Congrats on the new GRiSO, lots of folks here can give you all the technical advice you'll ever need, or want, in the mean time, enjoy the Ghetto and the new bike.

Street- I go by Hank, though I will answer to Ross, my given name is Herbert. I keep my tag consistent across all boards I belong to. I am a real estate broker in Northampton, Mass. ergo, a public person.
H. E. Ross is the name of my agency. I have followed many topics here and I am sure I will be seeking sage advice in the future. Glad to be a member of the Ghetto!

Okay, welcome, Hank Ross. There's a story behind most every name here. I'm called Street simply because there are too many goddamned Pete's in the Guzzi World, so mine is short for Pete down the Street.

Pete "Street"

Incidentally, you can now cancel your memberships to all those other forums, from now on the GRiSO Ghetto is the only one you'll need. And you won't have enough spare time left over to troll anywhere else anyway. Your next assignment, post pics of your GRiSO.

Welcome Hank! And while we're sharing our name births, here is the old 'Kids in the Hall' song classic....

G'day Hank
Good to hear your now not Grisoless
Welcome from us down under in Tasmania.
Stay warm and safe
Ciao

Welcome to the Ghetto!  Is that a beautiful tenni with matching screen I see from your avatar?  Congratulations! If there is 1 bike I might consider adding to my 1100, it would be a tenni 1200!

Daves-I-Know, that is pretty freakin' funny. Now it all makes sense.

That is my old cycle in my avatar, a 2002 V11 Lemans TENNI, sadly gone. My new ride a 2013 GRiSO pictured here pausing during an autumn ride in the Western Massachusetts hills.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Ahaa!  I thought it looked a bit unusual, but what do I know.   Anyway, your new ride looks beautiful as well!

Welcome, Hank!

I'm waiting for the day that someone on this forum, created for GRiSO owners by GRiSO owners,

greets some new GRiSO owner with, "your bike sucks!"

The day I see a yellow one I might just do it !
