Jeff,
No, I get it - Guzzis do this to guys - it's called 'being in love'! Bob

well, my old flame is still a bmw. She's got about 70,000 miles on the
frame
 up rebuild and going strong. She's a standard, very dependable
no-nonsense
 workman-like bike. I guess I'm saying she doesn't have soul. Not in bad
way
 like a UJM, but not oozing gobs of character (or other stuff). hah watch
her
 get back at me during the commute tomorrow morning :).

I guess that is the reason I started fooling with the old harleys.
Looking
 for
something perhaps not as dependable but with soul. I found myself at odds
with
the local harley boutique set. The "dealer" just dealt in aftermarket
chrome
 doo-dads.

I saw my first guzzi and *man* that bike just called out to me. It's got
gobs
 of character (and rust). My local guzzi dealer is Moto International.
Now
 thats
a dealership. I picked up a copy of Guzziology and was blown away.
Theres
 this
whole body of lore that comes with the marque. It's got history.

I guess I'm not explaining it too well, but it's too hard to think
straight
 with
guzzi on the brain.

 Jeff,
I'm sure others more proficient at mechanicals will respond knowledgeably
to
 
 your questions but I have a question for you, when you get the time; what
makes you intrigued by Guzzis as opposed to American iron or BMWs?
Thanks,
