Birthdays are good for something...

Even if belated. Daughter presented me with the "100th Anniversary Edition" of Ian Falloon's The Complete Book of Moto Guzzi. For such a small company, they have made a amazing variety of models and designs, albeit with some badge-engineering tossed in. Paging through, I was familiar with the smaller US models, as the tiddlers were huge in a 1960s teenager's life. I was elated to see a nice shot of a 2004 Ballabio on pages 204-205 announcing the Aprilia era. I was deflated when it was described as the "base V11 Sport."

Yeah, there are some pretty pictures in that book. Yet, true, it is laced with disappointing inaccuracies.
