Moto Guzzi is going to make a Scrambler and a new California model.  These were shown at their dealer conference in Monte Carlo yesterday.  I'm digging the scrambler.

a little depressing to see "PIAGGIO" behind the Guzzis...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Bet that pipe is loud! [thumbsup] Interesting exhaust heat guard on the right side of the front cylinder's pipe. And Josh is right, puzzling tire combo. Still, damn neat looking custom. [clap]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Crazy loud. It's the same set-up I had on my Multi rebuild. I ended up ditching the full system headers and replacing the stock udder to cut down on the noise.  :P

I read the writeup on that bike. the front is race rains. the rear BST rim is the wrong size and no race rains are available in that size.

it's the period fairing. 

you can put it on almost anything and it looks sexy.

I believe it was originally designed by NCR, I am not sure, but the earliest bikes I've seen it on were NCR designs.
