docc Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 It's all about the V11 Green. It's not actually the V7 Sport Telaio Rosso green, and it's not the 1100Sport yellow. Look at the dust cover of Ian Falloon's "The Moto Guzzi Story", 1999, Haynes Publishing UK. The V11Green is exceedingly hard to capture on image and reproduce in printing or online. It must be seen to be totally experienced. It changes with the day's light and the mood.
Scud Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Ask any Greenie. (BTW, the "Greenie" probably isn't the V11-its-own-self, but its dedicated steward.) The V11 Greenie is a Ding an Sich. The color cannot be perceived through photographs. My kids call mine Dewey. I assume it's in honor of the pragmatic philosopher John Dewey. Definition of Ding an sich - (in Kant's philosophy) a thing as it is in itself, not mediated through perception by the senses or conceptualization. 3
luhbo Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 That's it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legnano_(cycling_team) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-new-team-Legnano-Cycling-cap-Italian-made-Retro-fixie-/181823074638 https://www.insella.it/news/moto-guzzi-v7-racer-gli-usa-anche-verde-legnano Don't call it Lime, please. I don't know how the cyclists called it then, but for sure in '72 the Sport's colour got its name after this team - Verde Legnano. 1
brubache Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 All I know is that the greenies are slower. Poor greenies...

swooshdave Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 All I know is that the greenies are slower. Poor greenies... We have to go slower because everyone is looking at us. 1

swooshdave Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Staring and pointing is not positive feedback Tell that to my supermodel girlfriend.
