  6. First L.A. Times Ride: Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom

    Moto Guzzi is Italy's oldest and most elegant motorcycle marque. In continuous operation at its Mandelo del Lario plant since 1921, and now owned by Aprilia and Vespa parent company Piaggio Group, the brand was invented by three young men who'd met during World War I in an Italian flying squadron -- hence the wings on the company's logo -- and went on to dominate the Italian motorcycle scene for decades to come.
