Can’t quite make it out…whats the smallish squiggle on the rear fender?

Pretty amazing guzzi connected thru the Italian military to produce this…

Can you think of any other manufacturer to hook up w authorized military insignia?…..🤔 cop bikes, sure, but …

Here it is.  Gruppo Aerei Imbarcati.  And I agree, Guzzi's design department is great.

Dang! That’s intense. Anyone interpret the wording?

Isn’t that the original Red Riding Hood Wolf? Wow, brings up some werewolf/dark woods connections too..wowza

Wonder if they’re available as replacement parts..

 ^^^ Although they don't display it , Harley-Davidson could show the picture of the 500lb bombs that they can start to produce with
a single day notice . Between the factory and the testing circuit is an amazing array of covered equipment in a Large separate building
(with it's own rail line) that's sole purpose is for the production of 500 lb bombs ! That's a kind of military connection :) . Peter

HD has a Fat Boy model. I would guess the Fat Boy that flew over Japan looked to be heavier than 500 lbs at least in the pictures I have seen.

The link to the Moto Guzzi web page states:

"The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Aviazione Navale, inspired by the F-35B fighter jet"

The aircraft looks to be a Harrier jump jet, or am I missing something??

 F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing variant (replaces Harrier).   Since these plans have just started production, I'm guessing the Guzzi couldn't purchase one for it's photo shoot. (yet)   :wink:
