Just rode that sucker again today. If it never runs any better than it does right now, I'll still be thrilled.  ;-T  I'll try a few tweaks, of course, but it rox.

fotoguzzi re entered the Guzzi world by scoring a real LeMans 1 but had to sell his Miata to pay for it.

We found out that Emily van Camp is really a dude.   Shocking, but there it is.

Other than that, just the usual old man talk - sensible shoes, odor-suppressing socks, oatmeal, vegetable omelets, blood glucose levels .... not much about women, as you might expect.   More important things to do!

Mwrenn putting 4V Lario heads on a current V7 was pretty damn impressive! http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=59033.0

 Serious question , (well mostly) , in French Canada , does it have the same connotation as in English speaking N.A.?
As in , "Hey , be a Guy" . Really , think it pretty cool the way it's pronounced in French  ;-T

I had a very interesting road trip this past Summer....

Maybe not "earth shattering"... more like, clutch plate shattering.

Everyone here has been dissing the V7IIs (not big enough, not powerful enough, too many gears, too many colors, we don't need no stinkin' ABS, etc.), but you know everyone will immediately run out and buy one as soon as they're available in the US.

Ropers distancing himself from Guzzi and moving toward Japanese cruisers, he loves the ergonomics and style of the great machines.....
