Hi guys, I'm new to the site, but have been coerced, cajoled, threatened and even told I could borrow a Harley for a week, if i posted something on this great site.

I've beed like a kid in the candy shop looking at all the great forums, and have neglected to post, so here goes.

 

I'm one of those old geezers of 50 plus who shares a town with a V11 Scura and a and an Cagiva Xtra raptor. I have just added the Coke can to the group, as one raptor tamer puts it, and the others scurry to put on sunnies. This number #201 Mandello Rosso V11 sport is very bright in the sun, even with toned down tappet covers.

 

My update was from avery faithful old friend a '85 T5 Guzz that had carried me many a reliable mile and still will. She unfortunatly had a penchance for chewing clutch bosses Until now I hadn't realised how a bike can make the hairs on my testicles erect, well this one does it for me. Smooth, powerful, planted and fun, so much fun. As someone asked me recently, "have I read my birth certificate lately" why?

 

Am not a stranger to the delight of Guzzidom, owned a 1969 V7 Special, 750, 5th to be imported into Australia, terrific touring machine until it met with a mobile chicane in the form of Valiant sedan, spinning sideways down the wet road in front of me.

 

Anyway thanks for the forum, its good news for Guzzisti

Well,i dont have a lemans,but i definitly have guzzis! I cant type proficiently so iwill usually in cro-magnanic grunts however dont allow that to obscure your impression of this member .Empathize with the mind of this mad scientist obsessed with his frankenguzzistiens; grafting body parts reaped from the bog at buttonwillows, scavenged internals from the murky lagoon of laguna seca.And all for what ? there are faster,lighter ,more popular,more abundant,easier to personalize motorcycles avail. out there.So ,why?, you might ask...all because of the SOUL that lives deep within the hardparts of..........LA BESTIA!!!!!!!!
