Purchased from an eBay seller in Georgia, the 1967 V7 was really not much more than a frame, engine and gearbox, with other parts in crates. Paul started the process late in 2015 with a less-than-ideal candidate for restoration.

“When I figured that out, I thought it would be cool to have the project ready for the date,” Paul says. With 50 years gone by since the V7 left the Moto Guzzi factory in Mandello del Lario, 2017 is the machine’s Golden Anniversary, and Paul didn’t want to miss such an important date.

In fact, his young son, Finn, told him he wasn’t sure the Italian motorcycle would ever run, and suggested it would take 10 years to complete.īut then Paul realized that 2017 marked a rather significant milestone.

When Paul Harrison first set out to restore his 1967 Moto Guzzi V7, he wasn’t in a rush to finish the job.
