From the private collection of Ewan McGregor...
2009 Moto Guzzi California Vintage w/Watsonian Monza Sidecar

Frame no. H1507
Engine no. A60688
• Only 573 miles from new
• Fitted with Watsonian Monaco DL single-seat sidecar

Long Way Round? Long Way Down? Not with this outfit. It would be foolish toestimate how many 2009 Moto Guzzi Californias have been attached to WatsonianMonaco sidecars – with the sidecar on the right, American-style – but it cannotbe many. Unique? Probably not, but certainly few and far between. But such anoutfit owned by one Ewan McGregor? Unique. No question.
As CycleWorld's Peter Egan put it: "Every time saw the Guzziin my rearview mirrors, flinched and wondered if should pull over andproduce my driver's license for the man with the big shiny boots and Ray-Bans.  The Guzzi's classy retro styling... hearkens back to another era, when a629-pound bike with hard saddlebags and chromed engine guards was consideredhuge rather than charmingly minimalist. The look and sound of the Guzzi goesall the way back to the V700s, Ambassadors and Eldorados of the late Sixtiesand early Seventies, so you'd expect it to be outclassed... Nevertheless, theCalifornia Vintage seemed to hold its own...and nearly all our group placed itamong their three or four favorites. 
With its excellent Brembo brakes and quick steering, the Guzzi was great forattacking tight corners.  Ride quality was among the best ofthe bunch, feeling taut but not harsh. Both ends absorbed the brunt of almostall road bumps, making for an excellent ride unhampered by wallow orclown-effect bobbing.  Perhaps what endeared the Guzzi most to our group was thefeeling that this was "real" motorcycle-light, efficient and nolarger than it had to be, the product of logical development rather than anexercise in one-upsmanship.  It's an enthusiast's bike." 
The Watsonian Monaco DL is modern single seat sidecar made inMoreton-in-the-Marsh (in the Cotswolds) England – the DL is defined by thesidecar's 10-inch alloy wheel. The cockpit is slightly wider than that of theGP and Monza allowing for wrap-around windshield for greater passengerweather protection. It is, in fact, perfect attachment to big Guzzi California.
Clearly this sale is unique opportunity to acquire rather special,virtually unused Guzzi-Watsonian outfit neatly handled by genuineA-list-motorcyclist.
This rig has been fully serviced and road tested by BlueMoon Cycle--it is ready to enjoy.  It is available for viewing in our Norcross, GA showroom.  We can also arrange shipping worldwide.
