Gave the old girl a birthday today, all oils done, new plugs and valve clearances done.

Spit and polish, still cleans up ok.

Anyone else own one of these (Guzzi's in general) quirky things where they put the motors in the wrong way round?

Just a little different to the hd  :-), good fun all the same.

I like your white and brindle mate in the background 

That looks like a fucking beauty far canal!

Your forum name comes to mind as far as the side stand goes on mine mate.

Need double jointed hips to deploy it when still on the bike and need to be on fairly

level ground.

If your on a camber leaning to the left too much she wants to lift the front wheel and

topple over :-).

Could be worse and have a self retracting stand, may mates old mk5 had a lay down after

a strong gust of wind took just enough weight off it for it to flip up.

Mine has 95k on it now and still going strong.

I owned 2 Guzzis before I had my dyna, a LeMans V11 in red/silver and a Norge GT in silver but I sold both of them.  

Had this in late 90`s was a 93 1000S rode across Nullarbor from perth to nsw & back home what a beast 

They are a pretty sought after model now Gidgi.

Nice Gidgi, as said, worth a bit now days and don't come up that often.

I've got a Centauro, it's a bit different in that it's got the slightly detuned 4 valve overhead cam motor that the Daytona has, it's great to ride, once it gets past 5000rpm it just goes mental,

Am an old Guttzi man myself, as Geoff, I didn't take photos, from habit, as was evidence.

I think you guys have got it arse about, Guzzi's do have more character than most Harleys, I say most because older Harleys do have character, however Harley started losing character around 1984 and it was completely gone by 1999 when the twink came out, the more a bike is refined the less character there is,

I like all bikes, so like Guzzi too.
