That's what you get for buying a Moto-Guzzi! My BMW 650/6 ran fine in all weathers. (I still miss that bike.)

The Challenger disaster was not the fault of the engineers but of the political appointees who decided to launch despite their warnings.

Re: Nuances (none / 0)

You cannot buy the Guzzi California I got (built in 1973). You get it awarded. It belonged to Franco of the "Lizzard Kings" who own the car scrap yard in Cento Celle, Rome. The bike was already part of the iconografia of Rome's rockers gang culture when I got it. It helped that I was part of the Ritter, Tod & Teufel crew who managed the Friday evening events at the (now mythical) UONNA Club discothec.
