    These would be fun on some of the winding country roads.

    Nice and basic. Nicely preserved.
    Is that a toolbox/glove compartment on top of the gas tank?

    I had never heard of this brand before and they remain in business... It must be good bikes! And Italians are great designers!
    God bless you!

    The Moto Guzzi Normal is a beautiful motorcycle. Appreciate your photo posts. That is also a historic 1938-1941 BMW R 71 behind the Moto Guzzi. This must have been some show.

    Taken For Granted - I am not so good with motorcycles, even worse with vintage ones, but it was fascinating!
