2 BIG Singles, "Very nice!" What jeans? Who cares?
« on: July 22, 2016, 11:00:34 PM »
Enjoy the beastie, but don't take it across Shap or up to Dent in a brisk sou'wester!  ::) Wish they'd put some descent tyres on it, instead of tires!  ;)

looks fab, but i cant help but think that it was built by someone whos never been round a corner. perhaps the crap tyres are there to prevent you changing up a gear mid corner as the ridiculous gearchange hits the deck first.  as i say, lovely bodywork, but it was built to be photographed rather than ridden.

"Numbnut-Guzzi", I think they would be after riding that! Totally agree with all said above but that fairing is a work of art, lovely  8)

true, the fairing is a work of art indeed, but lets not credit the builders of this bike with that. the fairing was a work of art in the 1950s when it was designed! lol. still, for all that, its a pretty machine, i love the sculpted tank round the heads, quite how much fuel you will lose to it being evaporated away from the heat of the engine is a different matter, but the tank is a nice piece of kit.

Absolutely! I have a feeling the tank is a standard part, fitted to the new Cali, bloody lovely but as you say, built to photograph or ride in a straight line ...... nice  8)
