We know what was really on your mind!!!

Mine had 118 rwhp with only a few hundred km. It improved to 122 after more riding.

Do you think that the Canadian Navy has a chance against them? Our airforce is much more advanced - except in the field of weaponry.

I second that! Come and play with the Canada Goose crew!! I also wish I could meet up with Fernando and ride in Europe. Someday .....

HAWKWIND!!

I don't know. I like the way he slags the Harley and then calls the flaws the good points and then says all the good parts about the Guzzi is and then points out that these are its drawbacks. Dohhhhh! I guess that makes him a total nitwit who hasn't got his facts straight!!

Naw. That's the Italians. Maybe that's why their bikes are so fast.... For Sale. Italian army rifle. Never been fired. Only dropped once! Who's next?

Isn't it called that because they smell so bad? (Irish or French - your choice)

You are never too old to caper about with a pom-pom. Just don't send us any pictures.

What did your stripper look like?

I want to buy into MV for 1 euro, ride as many bikes as I can before they catch on and I go bankrupt, then sell it for 1 euro. It would be the start of a great game!!

I know there is one somewhere on my MGS but I can not find it yet!! More than one on the Centauro.

I found it on the Frappr widgets link. I had to tweak it a bit to remove the extra bits but otherwise quite easy.

They do pass laterally!!!

Where the hell is Belfast?

Bugger!! I want to say lots of things about this post that I have started but they are are all racist!! I also want to say that I am racist! I love racing and I will get up at 2 or 3 or 4 AM to watch MotoGP or Superbike or even AMA (although no worries about staying up late for AMA). What the hell!! Here's to all racisti!!

All I have is a Nikon F801 and my new toy - a Nikon D70S. Hope to get some good action photo's this year.

.... and four straight pipes!!!

They are concept bikes done (I believe) by members of the Guzzilandia forum. I find them all quite interesting but also needing refinement. Perhaps Goffredo can help us with the story behind these designs. I find these 3 most interesting at capturing the past and the future.

Check here for latest Scura news!!

Latest news on the Scura is that it is now manufactured in China!! Prices slashed!! True characteristics of the Scura noted as well! See here for more information!!

My Rosso Mandello does not have the extra frame bracing nor does it have the 5.5 inch wide rear wheel. I presume from this that it does not have the longer frame. Perhaps others are different. I have not ridden a long frame Guzzi so I can not compare handling but mine handles just fine!! Jim

Hey George! Where is that bike made and do the softwood lumber duties apply to it? Perhaps we could manufacture them cheaper here and circumvent the duties!!! Ooops! I see German in the sign in the background. That means the wood would have to be microwaved before shipping to kill any parasites in the wood. Wouldn't want those Canadian pine beetles competing with the bugs that are killing the Schwarzwald and the Boehmerwald. The German bugs wouldn't stand a chance!!

Hello Steve I have heard much the same as you have except the part about no sales alongside Japanese bikes. I'll definitely be checking on that one. It seems that the same old problem of contacting someone in management at MGNA is at present just as hard or harder than it was before although that may have a lot to do with the changeover. Hopefully it will get better. There most stunning news I have heard (although not surprising) is that with the bikes being imported directly to Canada (even if they come through the USA on thier way) is that they will all have to be recertified by Transport Canada (the greates bastion of infinite wisdom known to mankind). MGNA is trying to alleviate this but time will tell. I'll check with the guys at Valley and see what is the latest they have heard. Maybe I'll have to open my own Guzzi shop .......
