Just got approved. Thank you.  Looking forward to meeting’riding

Welcome aboard!

Thanks Nick. Just as an intro... I am a retired Army major who recently fell in love with MG and I'm actively seeking a California 1400 Touring. I like the 2014-15 choices but I am open to others. I have seen a few on Cycle Trader but they are kinda far (outside NJ).  If anyone knows of a nice example for sale at a decent price please let me know...I have to sell my 2011 Triumph Thunderbird 1600 ABS first or trade it in for a Guzzi.

If anyone owns one and wants to fill me in on the quirks, upside/downside that would be great...I cannot afford many surprises!

There's a VERY nice one in CT. (EDIT - it's a Custom not a Touring, but you could always add bags, and frankly I think there are better bags than the OEM touring ones like the Hepco&Becker C-Bows - the Strykers would look awesome on this, but for that price you could add the OEM ones too. Besides, I think the word was that the Customs had better suspension anyway).

(Looks like Hamlin's might not have gotten the latest price reduction from the owner - no worries I'm sure the bike and price is good).

Jim Hamlin at Hamlin Cycles is also a Triumph guy so he might (only might) be interested in doing some sort of a deal. Easy going nice type guy, should be easy to deal with.
just sayin,

Thank you very much for this thoughtful reply Mogu83...Yes if he takes my Triumph that would be a good thing...

Well, I don't THINK he's a doesn't appear to be a Triumph dealer anymore and the bike is there on consignment, so I can't imagine he would take a trade (that would be remarkable), but the answer to the unasked question is always NO.

Welcome Major! My son is currently a Major in the 4th Infantry Support Battalion out it Ft. Collins. I'm not too far away in Basking Ridge.

Nearest Guzzi dealer is Indian/MG of Wayne. Bought my V7 III there. Sales mgr Brian seems like a pretty decent guy. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

FYI, Nick had already moved it and deleted his post when I posted that.

But Harry has it right....
