Overwhelmed with home maintenance jobs over the weekend, apart from pushing some bikes in & out of the garage, didn’t manage anything Guzzi related…

A quad bike, otherwise known as an ATV. Not a common sight on roads here; a useful working tool for farmers, foresters, and anyone who needs a small high mobility vehicle for off road work. On road they combine all the disadvantages of 2 & 4 wheelers rolled into a single vehicle. Can’t filter, as difficult to park as a car, don’t handle well as the narrow track and lack of sophisticated suspension make them prone to flipping over. Not my cup of tea

Not a V11 topic, but whilst I was in the carpark yesterday, a 1964 Mini Cooper S rolled in. A total automotive legend, winner of multiple rallies in the 1960’s; star of the original Italian Job film with Micheal Caine (not the rubbish remake). Would blow cars with 4 times the engine capacity away on a twisty circuit or a mountain stage. Pure class, perfect compliment to my green Guzzi V11

Must say, good memorys with the mini's exelent handling,  broke 2 of those 3bearing crank engines in a month tho.  But great fun 19years old.

My mate had a GT 1275 Mini back when we were kids...

Like a go Kart with a 1300 cc motor, what a hoot !!

Cheers Guzzler
