Northern Manitoba .....what can you find for beer in the backwoods of Canada? Here is what I have available in the fridge tonight. I think I'll be OK ..... Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Wait until you here her say this ....!! http://translate.google.com/?sl=en#en/sv/%C3%B6hlins%20extra%20long%20suspension

OK

Just curious .... who is "they" .....?

When do you open and will there be discounts for Guzzisti?

What to dispense beer with ....!

Sad .... very cool project!

What is happening with the Swallower Guzzi's? Their website is mainly pictures ..... not much else.

Mmmmmmmmh ..... more than just your average breakfast drink! I have a couple stashed in the wine cellar that I just might get into this fall .....

...and totally inedible by man or beast as far as I can tell, but soak in gin for a year with a load of sugar, strain out the berries and you have pure nectar. .... and there you have the logic of drinking .... BECAUSE WE CAN!!!!!

All still original and after many a wheelie the clutch is still happy. The paint on mine is just fine too. I know there were a few that were flawed but those are the ones you hear about. Most of them were just fine. Sorry I missed you. Would love to see your bike too - love the Coppia! Cheers

I just want the saddle bags ...... and the Ohlins forks ........ and the ...... and the ....... and the rest of the bike!

Close to home too!!

For anyone wanting to know how to pronounce Moto Guzzi ...... http://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=wT#en/it/moto%20guzzi It's not Guzzy, it's not Goozy and although close .... it's not Gootsi It's just Moto Guzzi!!!

Blackthorn berries .... also known as sloe.

Mmmmmmmmh .....!!!

I have had many a session in my lifetime that involved pretty much any type of alcohol you can name ..... I would like to say that I am over that but I find myself disproving that statement over and over again. I guess that is why I love life so much ..... ...... but a session with some 4.0 sounds like a lot of fun! I'm in ........!

My guess is that when you sit down to a "session" of drinking ...... that a 4.0% will be better than a 5.0% as far as endurance is concerned. If this is true then it could explain how Coors Lite is so popular amongst the lower lifeforms (non-bikers).

Hello Ray. Welcome aboard! Quite a unique bike. I am thinking you are right that it is similar to a Rosso Mandello. Is the front fender carbon fiber? I can't make out for sure though by the colour of the pork chops or the valve colours. My RM seems a lighter colour but hard to know with digital colour. Don't worry about the brick wall ... with those pipes the wall will hear you coming and part for you! Thanks for reminding us that the jokes column hasn't been updated for a while. Must look into that! Good to have another bike in Canada. Someday I'll get my bike back east and maybe see ya someday! Cheers Jim Don't let the discs fol you ... there were triangular holed discs in 2000 even.

I tried a seat on my Rosso Mandello that was from a newer model ..... it fit but was too short to match up to the tank ...... there was quite a noticeable gap and the contours were mismatched. I believe the difference is the tanks .... with or without internal fuel pump.

Stainless fasteners look pretty but they are shite fasteners. The metallurgy is crap and they snap off easily. If you are not worried about quality and only looks then they may be OK for you. Be careful tightening however ....

How about some pictures ...... !!
