    As soon as the rain stops! It would be to get a bunch of Guzzisti together.

    Because we can!

    Can we really do that?

    YUP! There are lots of us out here who actually read and comprehend these posts!

    With of course but hold the spear in your right hand!

    I had no problem with the fit of my Stucchi but there was some weld spattered in the threads of the O2 sensor plug and I had to buy an 18mm tap to clean it out. All the rest was fine.

    I have tried both the Mistral and the Stucchi but I also have FBF 11:1 pistons. The Mistral gives a bigger improvement in the 3500 to 5500 rpm range although the Stucchi does help there too. The Stucchi is a much better improvement for rpm's above 5500. Since the FBF pistons also fatten up the midrange a lot I prefer the Stucchi crossover as it gives me a much broader range of improvement. I can say I was happy with the Mistral but more happy with the Stucchi.

    Interesting because as I believe that the list of American buyers is longer than the number of bikes being imported!

    Turns out he thinks the comment should be "Friskycutter finds the Guzzi model he'd like to drive home!!"

    High compression pistons help too!

    Seems to be an external combustion type motor!

    Well if you guys like rumours, I recieved an email from a friend in Switzerland who has a friend who is an engineer at Aprilia. The latest is the Cube will run MotoGP this year but Piaggio is considering a whole new MotoGP bike and the most popular idea is a V8. Shades of 1957?

    I hear you and I would really like to comment but I see only one side of the picture and I would not be able to give a fair comment. I do know there is animosity between the two dealers and it is unfortunate but perhaps it is a part of the 'passion'! I'm just glad that there are lots of Guzzi's on display at the bike show!! More photo's after the show is over!

    Well, I have the Rosso. Just have to get the MGS next. The guy in the picture second from top, left side is a helicopter pilot who lives north of Sydney and works in Canada and the USA.

    This seems the obvious next step to explore the characteristics of a system like this.

    Nice selection of bikes but sorry, no MGS!!
  22. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Friskycutter finds something at the Guzzi booth he likes!
  23. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    Here is the first photo from the Vancouver Bike Show. Many more to come!
  24. helicopterjim R.I.P.
    It won't be here in time for the show! I expect to have an arrival date soon though!

    I will be at the Valley Moto Guzzi booth starting friday at noon. Guzzi Girls by about 5 o'clock but sorry - no MGS (just pictures). I will post pictures as the show goes on!
