shropshire 0 #5 May 20, 2006 There was some great stuff there... I'm not in the market for a new bike at the moment (wifey wont let me)... but if I was, the latest crop of Guzzis are really pretty and low enough (I'm normal size so need to have a propper seat height). You could cetainly have got your boots cheap... I brought a new helmet.... matt black Caberg ... It has a built in Sun Visor.... why didn't someone think of this before? . (.)Y(.)

Squeak 17 #9 May 21, 2006 that Griso Looks good in Red. It's one of the fastest selling Guzzis in the world at present. You should see what they have on the drawing boards Hopefull they make it past prototype stage You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire 0 #10 May 21, 2006 Ever since my Le Man II (850) I've loved Guzzis.... The lemon had a great [low] seat height that suits me and I was pleassantly surprised by the Griso... There's a dealer near by so I may ask for a test ride. Regards, (.)Y(.)
