helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 I ahd also heard that the museum was open limited hours but Gambalunga has me worried so I have sent an email to the factory. Will keep you posted. Am also disappointed that I won't be able to rent a Moto Guzzi at Agostini's. Ah well, it only means I shall have to return another time - when I can stay 2 weeks and everything is open!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhitaker Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 It's a long shot, but try Le Volpi Ciccione. He advertises in the Guzzi newsletter. He's an agrotourismo coordinator and may be able to work out a rental deal. www.levolpiciccione.it or info@levolpiciccione.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 They (Le Volpi Ciccione) did not rent Guzzis as of 2 yrs ago, but they are quite nice to deal with. FWIW, I used a BMW and while it was a fine bike to ride (a bit droopy, but hey...) they are a little wide for Italian roads. Think thin- makes travelling in towns easier. The Breva 750 would be absolutely ideal. Too bad Agostini is not available. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Antonio, I have to find that road from lecco to milan next time, the only one I know is dull, with trafic lights. Which roadnumber? Â my advice for a road: Â go north to colico, then east sondrio, edolo, then at ponto di legno up the mountain to passo di gavia. passo di gavia: then bormio, passo di stelvio, zernez, st moritz, passo majola, chiavenna, back left side of the lake, to menagio, and over the lake by boat.

antonio carroccio Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Paul, I think it is the SS36. The road with a lot of curves and cement wall to the left and right side of the road, you know what I mean? If you will ride there with open Mistral or open Lanfranconi it’s a music… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Jim...you may want to check out www.mototouring.com. Â They're out of Milan. Last I heard, they rent Guzzi Le Mans as well as Ducatis, Benellis & Beemers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 Thank you Orson. I will check it out. Â The Guzzi museum is closed. I received an email stating the museum is closed from August 2 to 29. Â I thank the Moto Guzzi factory for a prompt reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhitaker Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Le Volpi Ciccione added a couple Guzzis to his lineup this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 I received an email from Agostini confirming they are closed from Aug 7 to August 22. I wasn't clear on the dates with my first enquiry. They recommend www.biancoblu.com in Milan although they do not rent Moto Guzzi. I think I shall wait til next year and plan a longer holiday - but not in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
