Nice diaper! congratulations!

It's obvious she'd heard you talking about the bikes and picked up on something you said about the Guzzi There have been a dozen or so former owners coming back here ruing the day they sold their V11

No V11lemans.com members discount?

Nice! are Ghezzi & Brian back together? I heard one of them went to work for the Guzzi factory.

Nice pictures! Wish I was there Thanks for sharing

the one in the ad you posted is listed a £19,995 Seems a little optimistic to me, even with the road legal conversion

Is there a general concensus on what the actual value of an MGS-1 should be? I'm thinking £10,000 / £13,000 or $20,000 / $25,000 that's just an uneducated guess. Correct me if I'm wrong

There's going to be a protest in Mandello? First I've heard of this. A workers protest? Any details?

I've been lucky with my Tenni. 60,000 km with only minor problems. oil leak in timing chain cover - sorted tach lens still fogs up occasionally. No bother I'm on my 4th set of rear wheel bearings. Left me stranded once. Coil gave up the ghost last fall.

You forgot the V7 Cafe version

I'm still recovering from a broken femur for riding on the wrong side of the road in South Africa The bad part was that is was the last day of a four day trip and I was about two hours from returning the bike to Cape Town when the accident happened. I had done fine up until then. I had stopped to take a picture on a lonely road, and when I took off, I began riding on the right. Old habits and whatnot. If there had been any other traffic around, I would have fallen into the correct lane, but as there was no traffic, my brain switched off

Aha! found it. Last month's issue of BIKE magazine has a small blurb on the tenni-green Griso and has mention of a matching jacket. That's where I read about it. I guess I'll hafta wait until I get back to Italy to ask about it

Vibes never bothered me either. My bike is bone stock. Even after 8 hour days in the saddle, I don't have a problem. Maybe it's good dealer set up

I thought there was someone in Germany who sold a MGS-1 conversion kit to make it street legal?

maybe 2 different people are logging on under the same account

would this go under "banter" or "silly remarks"?

Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing

Agostinis in Mandello rents Guzzis. I'm afraid I don't know the prices. I think there's an outfit in Milan called Mototouring, but I haven't heard any reviews about their service.

I thought the North West 200 was fastest? Is this the same course as the North West 200?

Perhaps I mislabeled it. I read somewhere that a jacket was being offered in conjunction with the "Tenni" green Griso

Thanks for the watch Jens!

I forget where I read about a Tenni jacket that is being issued with the new Tenni Griso. I can't find anything about it on the Guzzi web site. Has anyone else heard anything?

Thanks for the pictures and write up I really enjoy your homemade route maps. Wish I had such talent Sorry I missed it. Wish I could've been there

Oy! The V11 didn't break the 100 mph barrier? weren't single cylinder Nortons breaking the 100 mph mark? mind you, 97 mph average would be more than enough for me, thank you very much
