I'm wrestling with Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" right now. I optimistically bought the book during my studies (long ago) but couldn't get through... bloody hell, difficult reading... Now being more mature and packed with life experience I thought i'd give it a try again, especially because there is a Guzzi on the cover! What can I say... the first time the name Immanuel Kant appeared in the book, this came to mind: Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable, Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table, David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel, And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as schloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the turning of the wrist, Socrates himself was permanently pissed... John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, with half a pint of shandy was particularly ill, Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day, Aristotle, Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle, Hobbes was fond of his dram, And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, "I drink therefore I am." Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

Brian, excellent "how to..." ! I've moved it there,

Or everybody has been celebrating Christmas and just didn't got around to help you. My bike is at the dealers, so no go, sorry...

They do the same thing in Holland. At sharp corners or turns we have an advisory speed. To me it means open throttle!

Like this?

Sorry, can't make it. Christmas stress with the family.

I wish all Guzzisti - and all their family and friends who have to put up with them - a merry Christmas and a happy newyear with lots of sweeping corners! (Santa sneaking in delivering HelicopterJim's MGS01)

I thought this discussion should be about "right or wrong"

yeah, but he had the common sense not to start a production line with his "product"...

How can I put this without hurting someone's feelings... that's the ugliest exhaust system I have ever seen on a V11

I picked up this link on the dutch Guzzi forum: http://www.permabag.com/bike.htm Looks like quality product.

Doorstoppers are for doors, not for bikes...

I have heard a Quat-D and was not impressed Very "tin canny" imo. Best sounding V11 I have heard so far is this one with the custom made Ti exhaust:

Typical Italian...

Don't forget the arrow shaped guitar!

Dave, that's bad news.... I hope you'll find something else soon. You could also think about a career as a professional city guide!
