helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 What year and model did the first 'upside down' forks appear on a Moto Guzzi? If this one makes it to a stumper I should deserve two!! Link to comment
grossohc Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 1956 Lodola?Rob 85530[/snapback] That was my next one Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 A good start. At least everyone is guessing Guzzi's. One of the guesses is the right model but still looking for the right year!! Link to comment
grossohc Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 1955 airone turismo. 85528[/snapback] 1948 Link to comment
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 1955 airone turismo. 85528[/snapback] 1939 airone Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ben. Do you feel comfortable that the bike you have pictured is a 1939 model? You are the quizmaster so we can not doubt you but I don't want you to be mistaken!! Link to comment
grossohc Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 What about a 1935 GT W 498cc. I would post a pic if i could. Link to comment

DeBenGuzzi Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I don't know if that is a 39 but I can't find a TRUE for sure photo of a 39 , sorry and it appears guzzi didn't even have modern forks until the airone. truth be told I don't really know jack about old guzzi's. I just really like current ones Link to comment
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think it might be a 39, Link to comment
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 now I'm not sure again, another place(in italian) appears to say this model is a 56? Link to comment
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'm going to say 45 airone. Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Getting warmer as BFG would say but his clues don't necessarily lead you to an answer. Link to comment
