I think the OEM would have put on the 'i' in Guzzi.

Oh, I'd think so too, Terry.. but *everything* on the bike looks so original.. other than that. If I was going to replace it, I'd damn sure do it right, and expect about anyone would.
I'm betting on Luigi.. :smiley:
At any rate, it looks like original Monza decals are still mostly available. I'll get them ordered before they're not.

That Monza looks sharp. Much nicer than what it looked like in the eBay listing!

Yeah, the seller didn't do himself any favors when he took those pictures. Fortunately.  :smiley:

He's a good boy.. this nut didn't fall far from the tree.  :smiley: I'm a firm believer in nature vs nurture, though.
He knows me..the Cutter said no driving yet, so the Kid called last night and said, Ya rode it yet?  :laugh: The doc didn't say anything about riding or flying.. :cool: :boozing:

A small world, Chuck, I was @ Daytona in`01 and met the Carlo  Guzzi campout crew including Tip Paul, Mac & Patty(then on her Suzuki 650) and yes, they were all quite an eclectic group.  If you have any issues with your new V50 Monza maybe Guido V. here can help as he lives in the SF Bay area if that's where the bike is.
