Hopefully the wife came with a better warranty than the Guzzis.
No warranty (or guarantees) on the wife...I just got lucky!

The only two "brand new" Guzzi's I have ever owned in my life, ironically, was my very first one, a 1978 850 Le Mans, and I sold it after 5000 miles - no issues.

The second was the 2002 V11 Le Mans, and same thing, I sold it to a friend when I moved to Aachen, Germany in 2004. It too, had about 5K miles on it - and no issues whatsoever.

It now has >18K miles and no issues.
All my other Guzzi's were used, and there was time and money invested in ALL of them to get them right and properly sorted.
I have all the parts / upgrades to "fix all the issues" my V10 Centuaro, and hopefully that will all be competed by the time I ride it to 25th New Mexico State Rally in Datil at the end of August.
It has 7500 original miles on it now, and in 1000 miles the only thing that died is the Veglia tach (POS) which I have to replace.
