My Moto Guzzi V7. Does it smell like pizza or is it just me?

Glad to hear it buddy. The exciting ones are always a little more high maintenance but worth it.

You broke a Guzzi, I can hardly believe it. Guzzi's don't break, smell like pizza maybe, break never.

That's true. And the added character value is always nice.

Yup, it's true but only to a degree. I can't say the Guzzi broke, but it did break down on me. I'll be watching it closely. So far, not a drop of oil has come out or any dip stick loosening. Maybe it was a defective dipstick?

You know how they say "happy wife, happy life"? In this case, "happy Mike, happy Andrea".

I'm so happy the Guzzi is back to normal and no drips to worry about.

You have no idea, how I am rolling around on the floor here with that comment,

considering how tall and Thin Mike is.

The big question now is

does the smell of fried chicken mask the smell of pizza

or do they do a fried chicken pizza ?

Hmmm. Paul, you may have just figured out your million dollar Idea. Lol.

LOL! thanks a ton.

Anyways, my 2 freeway blaster horns are not working right after I washed the bike and rode it (they emit a little squeak but not loudly), just going to the garage to take a look. I feel so naked on the roads without my 18 wheeler horns.

I wish I had a good place to mount my Rivco Airhorns, they'd be off the Valkyrie in a few seconds...

And now the exciting horn follow-up!

Seems the air horns, because of their orientation (facing forward) were filled with water (thus the dampened sound). After emptying the water, the horns worked just like new. Now that left me with a dilemma. Keep the horns on and empty the water out of them once in a while or just buy another "disc horn set" that was louder than stock. So I came up with another idea, I'd re-mount the OEM horns but change the mount so they faced forward rather than to the side. 30mins later with 60 cents in parts and ta-da, done! (I'll post a picture tomorrow of my new and improved horn placement, maybe Moto Guzzi might want to pick that up).

Beep Beep!
