Guest Mattress Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi- I've finally lost it completely and bought a new 2004 Café Sport without any previous Guzzi experience. I didn't even test ride it which was silly but I got such a great break on the price I couldn't pass it up. I think the V11s are beautiful and I've always thought Moto Guzzi's were cool bikes. My Uncle rode one off into a ravine in Northern Michigan in the early 70s and walked away with a chipped tooth. I don't want to replicate that but I did want to get back to riding again. I haven't rode in 5 years so I'll take it easy. I think the Café will be a good fit. As my nickname suggests, I'm a pretty mellow person. It should have more power than I'll ever need. Keep it sticky side down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mattress Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Well I'm off to Atlanta tomorrow to pick up the cafe sport and I plan to ride it back to Chicago. That will be a 700 mile trip. I can't wait to see it in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
