Moto Guzzi-AMA Grand Tour of Italy in America

Try to win a Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 and see America, the Italian way! Register for the tour and receive your FREE towel and coupon for Moto Guzzi hat by downloading official rules and entry form

Moto Guzzi's history has been one filled with "perfect pairings": Moto Guzzi and fine Italian craftsmanship, Moto Guzzi and the greatest motorcycle owners, Moto Guzzi and the most enjoyable rallies in the United States. Moto Guzzi USA is thrilled to announce that we have set ourselves up for another perfect match: Moto Guzzi and the American Motorcycle Association's Grand Tours!

With AMA's successful history of operating Grand Tours, we knew we could not go wrong teaming up with them to put forth the Moto Guzzi-AMA Grand Tour of Italy in America. This program intends to increase the awareness of Moto Guzzi to touring riders. We know that all of you are well aware of what phenomenal motorcycles Moto Guzzis are and that the people who ride them are the best around. The Grand Tour of Italy in America aims to get you, our loyal customers, out there riding to our dealerships and rallies to show those non-Moto Guzzi owners what they are missing out on!

All of AMA's Grand Tours give riders a chance to create their own rides from a list of selected destinations, and the Grand Tour of Italy will be no different. The rider must get to these select sites- dealerships, rallies, cities, and towns- with their own motorcycle and document with photo proof that they were there. Any specified destination visited and submitted to the AMA earns the rider points! 25 points at the end of the touring season will earn the rider a commemorative pin to show off their successful completion of the tour...but better yet, 25 points gets you entered for prizes a rider of any motorcycle would be jealous of! Moto Guzzi USA will be giving one lucky rider who completes the Grand Tour a BRAND NEW MOTO GUZZI NORGE 1200 as well as some sharp-looking Moto Guzzi gear to other lucky winners!

The best part of this tour for you, the rider, is that you can take it at your own pace- the truly Italian way to do it! Register now with through the AMA and get a free Moto Guzzi towel as well as a coupon for a Moto Guzzi hat. Then, between April 1, 2008 and November 1, 2008, visit our selected Italian-themed locations, rallies, and dealerships with your camera and enthusiasm for Moto Guzzi. Sites visited in your home state are one point, any sites in adjoining states are two points, and three points are awarded for distant destinations and special bonus locations such as the Moto Guzzi National Rally (though we are sure that a rally in Malibu, CA, will not be truly difficult to endure).

We hope that most of you choose to get involved in the tour, whether it be locally or nationally as you attempt to cross the country on your own Moto Guzzi! Moto Guzzi owners, and especially those in the Owners Club, are our best fans out there and certainly our most passionate riders. Moto Guzzi USA may still be a smaller motorcycle brand in the USA, but we are hoping that your enthusiasm and love for Moto Guzzi will shine through to any Grand Tour participants you encounter at the rallies and dealerships you stop by.

AMA's Grand Tours make it almost too easy to get out there and enjoy yourself across the country, and just think- by the end of 2008 you could be riding a brand new Norge 1200!
