After a few years in the tender loving care of (WG) Canuck750 my beloved 750S3 is back in the family.
Mr. GRiSO is happy to have the old lady's company again.

If you've followed the blog (750S3 Recommissioning) you'll now the incredible attention to details and material improvements made to this classic while making sure it is kept close to 90+% original.

A few pics as it was readied for shipping and now in the company of friends !!!

The 750 S3 is one of my favourites. This is the one that caused my love affair with Guzzi's.
Well done Omnis, a nice fleet of Guzzi's there cheers

"Fleet" is not good enough term for such fine steeds, suggestions anyone ????

That'd be him !
Yes those are original shark gill Silentium mufflers ceramic coated matte black.

I hope to take the S3 out for our first long ride in early June in Eastern Ontario. For the August Ontario Guzzi rally I will be riding the GRiSO as every year I have a long ride with my buddy Eric that culminate in Lavigne for the OGR rally. (See ontarioguzziriders.com)

In 2015 we did 16 capital 16 states (~7000KMS), last year we did Milan to Tallinn (Estonia) (~6000Kms), this year we'll do Atlantic Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Cabot Trail and PEI, north shore of the St.Lawrence and finally Lavigne for the rally.

Future plans include Lands End to John O'Groote, Chicago to St.Francisco (Pirsig) .....

Gratulation for the 750 s3. Mine is owned since 1981 and 2 times rebuild. Seems this is the reason to purchase a Stelvio in 2012 an a Tenni-GRiSO in 2016. Together with 3 smallsized Guzzi 350 Imola, 500 Minus and 650 Lario the "S3"-Virus has done good Job.
One thing: Replace the Mirrors to round Size an for Christmas buy some Lafranconi Touring exhauts, then the S3 has best Sound and the Silentium may survive the next 40 Years in very good condition!

Thanks xu12.
Maybe for the round mirrors, definitely not for the exhausts, the aim is to keep it close to original as possible.
