Back in February, the Cool Hunting blog featured Blonde Redhead drummer Simone Pace. In addition to talking about his music and the band, Pace spends some time showing off his vintage Moto Guzzi and talks about his passion for motorcycles.

It’s been a busy week for me and I’m just now catching up on reports from last weekend. This forum thread has lots of pictures and discussion of the flooding that wiped out the Moto Guzzi national rally in SE Minnesota. No one at the rally was injured although word is that the entire Guzzi demo fleet went under.

FEMA teams arrived yesterday to assess the disaster. Let’s all hope that government agencies and the insurance companies move swiftly to help those in need.

I came across a link to a website that’s hosting some Moto Guzzi technical training videos for some late model Guzzis. Great quality, all in Quicktime. Very cool.

Moto Guzzi Wins Motociclismo 2007 Motorcycle of the Year

The Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 was voted number one in the Granturismo category by readers of Italian motorcycle magazine Motociclismo. Is this a big deal? A bunch of Italians voted an Italian motorcycle as the best?

Actually, traditional GT favorites typically win this category — the BMW R1200RT has won seven times. Moto Guzzi has produced what looks like a fantastic touring bike. I’m going to have to try one of these things out.

Moto Guzzi Demo Fleet in Chicago This Weekend

Today is one of those days where I’m really missing Chicago. This weekend the Moto Guzzi demo fleet will be at Rosefarm Classics.

The Rosefarm Classics website is one of those unfortunate sites that seem to exist soley to frustrate customers and drive away business. All you’ll find there is an address and phone number, so you’ll have to head over to Google Maps if you want directions.

The details I received were Saturday, June 9 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m You’ll probably want to call first to confirm.

I’d love to try out the Breva. I’ve always been a big fan of Moto Guzzi bikes, although I’ve never owned one. Have fun, everybody.
