Moto Guzzi Open House, this weekend in Mandello with a party and a new V7.

The September meeting at the historic Moto Guzzi factory in Mandello del Lario is back as usual. Last year, the historic GMG, the Guzzi World Days, dedicated to the official celebration of the company’s 100th anniversary, took place. This year, the more festive and, if you prefer, informal event called Open House is back. It is a big party dedicated to all fans of the brand and lovers of beautiful Italian motorcycles. It will take place from September 7 to 10 in the Lake Como area, and this year, many Guzzisti and supporters from all over the world are expected. The celebration will begin with the ritual opening of the legendary red gate at Via Parodi, 57, on Thursday, September 7, at 9:30 am. From that moment on, it will be possible to visit the museum, which has been renovated and expanded, where 150 of the rarest and most representative Moto Guzzi models are kept. At the same time, the Moto Guzzi Store will also open in the area in front of the gate, where all original clothing and merchandise items will be available, and registrations for test rides of the range will also open. And there is a welcome novelty: given the high demand from the public and considering the arrival of new models like the Mandello V100, this year the test rides will start on Thursday, September 7, and will extend until Sunday, September 10. More shifts and more motorcycles available, more satisfaction for everyone along an improved route to enhance the qualities of the Larian motorcycles.

Aside from what has already been mentioned for Thursday, on Friday, September 8th, the workshop activities will begin for the Guzzisti registered in The Clan club. Saturday and Sunday will be the busiest days with activities and commitments: on September 9th, at 09:30, both the museum and the factory will be open to the public and it will be possible to visit the engine assembly areas, the vehicle assembly line, where each model is hand assembled, as well as the historic Wind Tunnel, designed and built in the early 50s as the first structure of its kind for aerodynamic study applied to motorcycles. There will also be the Moto Guzzi Village with a large exhibition space showcasing the entire range and a brand new feature: a special and never-before-seen version of the V7, the company’s best-selling and most beloved model.

There is also a rich program of speeches, talk shows, and special guests who will take turns on the stage set up inside the Moto Guzzi Village, animated by music from Virgin Radio. Refreshments are provided by Street Food, thanks to the presence of several mini-trucks capable of preparing on-site high-quality gourmet dishes with a wide choice linked to the best tradition of Italian cuisine.

Inside the Village there is an area dedicated to the Moto Guzzi Fast Endurance, the single-brand trophy that allows V7 drivers to rediscover the pleasure of racing in a team while spending little and having a lot of fun. There is also a space reserved for the Moto Guzzi Experience, the exclusive all-inclusive travel program that covers the Moto Guzzi range.
