I've had this pair for many years. The top one is pewter, and the bottom one brass. the interesting thing is that the back reads the same for both of them: "limited edition" "copyright 1977" "serial number 641" That's right; they both sport the same limited edition number. (sort of like all those Tennis running around)

Orson, I stayed at Mamma Ciccia's (the name is something of a joke) right down by the lake. It's easy walking to the factory.

There have been a few F2Gs at the Reno air races over the years. An Amazing sound. I used to have several 4360 valves around, but have given away all but this one. It's an amazing engine. Even this valve is amazing.

only if you double the displacement and add a supercharger. I mean, really, an F2G is almost scary to even think about.

F-82. Quite a few (at least a couple of hundred) were deployed during the Korean War

on my Daytona (being the 1st spine; possibly similar wiring) the turn signals and the tach are on the same electrical circuit (and are therefore protected by the same fuse). Recently a floppy turn signal wire (nominally tucked into the fairing) touched to ground, which knocked out the tach... That's not to say yours is the same problem, but this is the sort of simple item you're probably looking for.

taken last year...

Very good quality paper, photographs and binding. It's an odd size, but it works fine. Of course, it's in Italian, but it's mostly photographs, anyway. Lot's of photographs--from the earliest days, through the classic racing years, prototypes, and up through today. Recommended. (page 23 even has a photograph of a certain Guzzi Cali2 in Commerce Oklahoma, home of Micky Mantle, which fact will likely not be noticed by your typical Italian reader).

I've got to ask: wouldn't it just be easier to sell the Centauro and buy an RS?

OK, it's not really a V11, and it's a repost from what I posted over at WildGuzzi a couple of weeks ago... The video will will last just over two minutes, and requires windows media player (do turn the sound up). A Daytona 1000 south of Norwich, Kansas

so, how many Guzzi owners used to ride one of these? (before there was Aerostich, there was TourMaster--this was 32 years ago)

this is the site of the old cooked goose effort. It's old, but there might be something there to help the new team avoid having to re-inventing the wheel... Cooked Goose

Mike, Could you give us a re-cap of what happened between the time (several years back) that the Cooked Goose team took the record and now? Who did what, and what were the speeds recorded and what are the classes...
