What has been seen...
« on: January 20, 2015, 04:52:00 PM »
Today I saw what, IMHO, was the most barbaric, imbecilic motorcycle travesty. A BMW s1000. Stretched swingarm. Trashed bodywork. One disc on the front. It was all I could do to not erupt on the ignoramus riding the abomination. Thank goodness no one has tried this on a Guzzi.

I think it would have been so much nicer if the red on the pork chop, the valve cover and the tire were the same colour!   :BEER:

I'm fairly sure that's a Kiwi bike  :-[

But fear not, the builder kept all the original parts, and has returned it back to a V11 Rossa Corsa.

Some of his work on this bike was very clever, even if it was a little misguided.

Once Again at the 2010 Guzzi Rally, I can confirm it was back to original a month or so ago, but that could change at any minute, that boy is always thinking... ;D

Takes some guts to ride that to a Guzzi rally. Wouldn't be surprised to find the owner in the woods strangled by some red suspenders.

Yeah, but if the guy loves it and puts miles on it it's doing more than some of our rides that are stock. Never know if it was a crashed bike or basket case beforehand.

As long as the owner likes it and it gets ridden I guess that is all that maters. Brings a whole new meaning to the words Sport Cruiser.
