Founded in 1976 by a small band of about 40 enthusiasts, the club now covers the whole of the UK and Ireland and has over 2000 members. Although a national club in concept, over the years it has also formed into about 30 branches nationwide to cater for local activities.

 In keeping with most other motorcycle organizations, the club has always recognized the importance of having a top-class magazine, "Gambalunga" (meaning" long-leg", named after a Single cylinder, long stroke, racing motorcycle) which is produced bi-monthly to a very professional standard, bristling with lively debate, technical articles and the latest information on the Guzzi scene.
