He has Guzzi fever, I had that once. It kinda makes you smell like pizza. You will know it is in the advanced stages when he starts adding things to his bike, OH and forgetting things he went to the shop for so he has to go back again.
Guzzi fever also makes you do silly things like stopping on yellow and causing other riders to lock the rear wheel

I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

LOL! So true.sunshine229 wrote:So Mike is so in love with this bike, he rides it EVERYWHERE. He went out with the guys tonight and took the bike, even though he was only going a handful of blocks and it's pretty close to 0°C / 32°F tonight. There is no stopping him!!!


OH NO! Guzzi fever?! Why didn't anyone warn me about this before I took that test ride?!?sapaul wrote:He has Guzzi fever, I had that once. It kinda makes you smell like pizza.

I've already added horns to the bike and am looking at thin rim tape plus a bench seat job.

First thought is a male name, but then again, a girl's name can sound just as nice as well. The bike is mean, dark and has a attitude, which is interesting as it also has charater and Italian style. It can be a word or two as well.dr_bar wrote:Is it a boy or a girl???

Mike,
Your Guzzi fever is contagious. I can't stop looking at the V7 Special, and I am glad that you are sharing your Guzzi experiences on the forum. More pictures and details please!

Glad to spread the fever!Hanson wrote:Mike,

Have you seen the V7 Special in person? Which color/year do you like? If you haven't seen one yet, you must go to a Guzzi dealer and take a look, they are beautiful bikes and I absolutely love the new polish spoke look they have. Same great engine as the V7 Stone and V7 Racer.
Here is a special photo for you, it's a poster sized image (just click on it to enlarge).
But DO NOT take one for a ride. You will buy it.

Mike
