MOTO GUZZI OPEN HOUSE 12th – 14th September 2014
Mandello was the host to the peaceful invasion by Moto Guzzi fans who traditionally descend upon the Larian town in the second weekend of September.
Fans were once again greeted by the famed red gate with the golden eagle at Via
Parodi 57 who wanted to discover or relive the experience of visiting a unique
factory. Fans were treated to an appointment with history to witness the
industrial architecture, the ingeniousness of the Wind tunnel and more than 150
motorcycles on display, from the original GP (Guzzi-Parodi) to the MGS01, as
well as the first Normale manufactured in 1921 which was returned to the Museum
this year in all its antique splendour after an extensive
restoration.
Moving on from the historically significant bikes to modern ones, this year's
visitors were once again given the chance to test the major models in the 2014
range for free, from the luxurious California 1400 to the refined V7 in all of
the various versions, taking a ride which led to the entrance of Lecco and
Varenna.
