Contributor Post: From Switzerland to Canada On A Guzzi

Posted by: Moto Guzzi Americas | Categories: The "Originals" Lifestyle

Katharina Riedener-Brunner is a Moto Guzzi enthusiast and current resident of Canada. While growing up in Switzerland she discovered her passion for motorcycles while watching her brother ride his first bike. Her is her story:

I grew up in Switzerland and have always had a passion for motorbikes. In 1982, my brother bought his first Moto Guzzi, a year later my husband bought his 1982 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 2. We always rode through the mountains to Italy and France. I started out with a little Laverda then in 1988 bought my 1976 Le Mans 1, which I still ride today.

I fell in love with the design and lightness of the bike. In 1989, I had it rebuilt and tuned by the Swiss Transcontinental, and got back a hot cafe racer.

In 1995, we moved to Canada and I now ride my Guzzi in British Columbia and also in Washington State! I love it as is and never looked at another bike again.

Conversation-Starting Accessories For Guzzisti

Posted by: Moto Guzzi Americas | Categories: Personalities, The "Originals" Lifestyle

Giles & Brother was founded over a decade ago by siblings Courtney and Philip Crangi with the intent of create jewelry that told their story. “I always liked the idea that we’re making things that are impossible to place in the continuum in the canon of jewelry,” said Philip. Both grew up in Florida and Philip as a kid always looked for pieces that reminded him of pirate’s treasure. When they both moved to New York City to start their line of jewelry, they decided to name it Giles & Brother, Courtney’s nickname growing up was Giles.

In their studio in midtown close to the Garment District, they create various pieces everyday including their signature piece, the railroad spike bracelet, by hand using tools that a metal smith uses such as hammers, molds, fire torches, and different metals. The studio looks like a mini manufacturing space with multiple wooden shelves filled with rare beads, spools with various chains in different shapes and colors, hardware pieces, but the space at the same time is beautifully decorated with books, drawings, vintage radios, and a huge surfboard hanging on the wall. The space’s vibe brings one back in time when technology wasn't so advanced and things were made and perfected by hands.

The fact this type of craftsmanship still exists in such an urban and fast paced city such as New York is a true rarity. The art of making something with hands using basic tools doesn’t only show one’s love for their craft but also defines a true originals lifestyle. “That’s the fun part for me, telling a story. I guess it’s my story,” said Philip.

Moto Guzzi motorcycles have always been great conversation starters and we think Giles & Brother accessories are a perfect example of a timeless piece to own. Already sporting Giles & Brother? Just tweet or Instagram a shot of you and your favorite custom-made cuff or bracelet, along with a #guzzioriginals hash tag so we can feature you here in the Originals Dialogue and Gallery.

Guzzisti Photo of the Week – April 26th, 2013

Posted by: Moto Guzzi Americas | Categories: Guzzi Bikes, Guzzisti Photo of the Week

This week's photo is a 1975 850t bike that was custom designed by Revival Cycles of Austin, Texas and exhibited at last weekend's The One Motorcycle Show in Austin.

"The Tonti bike is a 1975 850t chosen specifically because it was the only Guzzi that came with the twin-leading rear drum brake....which made it the least desirable model at the time it was made, but the best for the parts stash I had in the shop to build what is ostensibly my personal dream bike,"said Alan Stulberg of Revival Cycles.

Huge thanks to Revival Cycles for creating such beautiful bikes and representing the essence of Moto Guzzi so well.

Watch a video of The One Motorcycle Show here.
