Yes Moto Guzzi, rides nice. Slow to starts rolls nice after 40 mph. Somethng about how the transmission was designed. I don't think I'll be towing much of anyhting with that, although I have seen trailers for these bikes specifically. Seat will be reapolstered soon, I have the fairing and orginal saddle bags for it. Might toss those on just to see how they look.

It is kinda scary, like Christine, the more I ride her the better she gets...took a good ride today the one good thing about NC, lots of two lane country roads with very light traffic.

Before Ok after some updates, original saddle bags, and front fender are the most notable, next was the handle bars.

oh wow, the hard bags match the fenders lines and look sweet, very classy. Are those the original mirrors? I think it would look good with smaller chrome ones.

Nope the original ones, when I find a set will be round chrome mirrors. The bike is getting better looking. I am going to have to get the bike to a shop to check the carbs and have someone clean them better than I did. The carbs are easy to acess but i need some tools to access vertain areas.
