Just saw one destroyed at the end of "Freebie and the Bean" with James Caan and Alan Arkin ('74) in San Francisco.

My wife was watching a movie today, November Rule. She says look a guzzi is being shown a lot in this movie. I told her to let me know about the next scene. Within 2 minutes she calls me for the next scene, it's a new V7, the guy rides up to a shoe store. He goes in and comes back out, turns the key on and they show the dash doing its warm up thing. He puts it in gear and away he goes. Pretty cool.....

I was just watching that trailer for Magnum Force, it's definitely two loops to start with, but at least one of them transforms into a Triumph later (he even kick starts it)!  Funny.....

Medium Cool was made in 1968 or '69, and focuses on a TV journalist covering events in Chicago. In the opening scene a new crew waits by the side of a freeway for an accident to happen -- once they get the carnage on film the cameraman hands the raw film off to a dispatch rider on a Guzzi and we follow the rider across town to the TV station where the film will be developed for airing within the hour. I remember seeing the film when it first came out and thinking "Now that's a cool bike."

Maybe it wasn't a Guzzi but that's how I remember it.
