K
TM has sent us a couple of its quick-lock tank
bags for the urban assault 390 models. The
bags clip on and quick release through an
adapter on the tank fuel cap hardward. Check out
the intro video and we’ll get to work on getting a
video put together covering what they’re like to fit,
and what they’re like to use. You can check them
out at www.ktm.co.nz or at your local dealer.
MOTO GUZZI OPEN HOUSE RETURNS
M
oto Guzzi will open the gates to the
Mandello del Lario factory once again this
September with the return of Moto Guzzi
Open House.
From Friday September 6-8, the Mandello del
Lario factory will be open to the general public
and enthusiasts, with thousands expected from all
over the world. Often referred to by Guzzi fanatics
as the “Eagle’s Nest”, the factory on the shores
of Lake Como is the birthplace of all Moto Guzzi
bikes since 1921.
According to Moto Guzzi, the 2018 edition of the
event left an indelible mark on many memories,
shattering every record with 30,000 participants.
And even more indicative of the love that binds
Guzzisti to the parent company were the 15,000
plus people who participated in the 2017 edition
which, thwarted by inclement weather, was held
in a proper ‘hurricane’. Moto Guzzi says these are
testimonials of the extraordinary relationship that
unites the most genuine motorcyclists with the
Larian brand and which binds Moto Guzzi to its
territory.
Moto Guzzi expects the star of the 2019 event
in Mandello will be the new Moto Guzzi V85 TT
(which has just officially launched into the NZ
market at the time of writing), with the all-terrain
bike shining through as a top seller for the brand
already.
Moto Guzzi has prepared a full list of events to
entertain the Moto Guzzi faithful for the weekend,
including music and entertainment,
