Tuned and Synch'ed
The thing I admired about Guzzi for years was the engine layout and character. That was the whole attraction to me. That's what made Guzzi different from all the rest. The first time I saw one on tv was one of the dirty harry movies towards the end. I don't remember which one but I do remember, what is that?
The thing that kept me from owning one for a very long time was their reputation for being quirky. That owning one mean't you had to be a dedicated owner basically. That a lot came with ownership.
The V9 roamer was the 5th bike I bought last year. I always admired the california and eldorado and the roamer was a standard style bike and the weight was right and it had that motor.
I haven't seen a guzzi on the street here. The ones I see are at the local shop. I know because of that there are other owners but I dont see them out and about. The bike is very interesting and I learn more about it all the time. The first thing I bought was a service manual. I work on my bikes...
Is it quirky? I think yes but in an endearing kind of way. It has a lot of character..all my bikes are some kind of twin cylinder and this is the most interesting engine. The transmission is noisier than other bikes I have had but I don't think any is really wrong with it. 3rd is the loudest but the rest are less so.
I enjoy riding it and having something different. I am going to take the body panels off this week and get the tank fenders and side panels painted. When I get done I will post the before and after pic. I have a vision for it and look forward to the finished result. Now is a good time to have it down before spring.
