Guzzi GT16 on BaT

Alan Comfort <alan.c...@gmail.com>: Apr 20 02:46PM -0700  Could also be the vendor had unreasonable expectations. Dorien Looks like the GT16 did not make its reserve. $27,250 is way beyond my budget but it's nice to know that these old 'slicers are increasing in value. It was not that long ago that you couldn't give them away. Alan in Roberts Creek

pouma1954 <poum...@gmail.com>: Apr 21 08:20AM +0200 I find it rather good news that it didn't reach reserve and I believe that making old motorcycles the preserve of rich and generally old men to be an extremely bad thing. They need to be affordable  so that they're likely to fall into the hands of motorcyclists, not collectors or the dreaded speculator.They're all for riding and getting dirty as often as possible. PaulEnvoyé depuis mon appareil Galaxy -------- Message d'origine --------De : Alan Comfort <alan.c...@gmail.com> Date : 20/04/2023 23:46 (GMT+01:00) À : guzzi-...@googlegroups.com Objet : [guzzi-singles] Guzzi GT16 on BaT Looks like the GT16 did not make its reserve. $27,250 is way beyond my budget but it's nice to know that these old 'slicers are increasing in value.

Rick Yamane <ri...@motionpro.com>: Apr 21 01:56PM I would just say the seller has an unrealistic reserve in mind.   Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: guzzi-...@googlegroups.com <guzzi-...@googlegroups.com> on behalf of pouma1954 <poum...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2023 11:20:04 PM To: guzzi-...@googlegroups.com <guzzi-...@googlegroups.com> Subject: RE: [guzzi-singles] Guzzi GT16 on BaT   I find it rather good news that it didn't reach reserve and I believe that making old motorcycles the preserve of rich and generally old men to be an extremely bad thing.

John O Regan <chate...@gmail.com>: Apr 21 05:10PM +0100 Hi All, At Stafford show pre pandemic there were some early guzzies in the auction, Also a lone misdescribed mis dated GTW I was there to bid on the GTW. The earlier bikes were up first, the bidding was frantic from two groups of Europan bidders, I thought I didn't have a hope to win the GTW!!! I was sat front row centre, so could not easily see the other bidders.... As the GTW was wheeled in the auctioneer was looking more or less over my head to the same groups as before, one of the assistants needed to get his attention to see that i was bidding!! I had worked out my max bid in advance because i had to take into account fees currency conversion and 5%VAT as the bikes had been consigned from outside the EU. I held my bid card up bidding away only to be told the bid was mine!!!!! I was in total shock and surprise as the Guzzi was knocked down to me at a lot less than I was prepared to spend!!! Some days the sun just shines on me!!!!   John   On Fri, 21 Apr 2023, 14:56 'Rick Yamane' via Guzzi Singles, <

Thats a great story, John. Very pleased for you.

Regarding the GT16, maybe the seller thought he'd try it on? It was a very greedy reserve imho
