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

LOL! So true.

Even though it was cold out last night I just had to take the Guzzi! I'm still trying to come up with a good Italian name for it though. Always open to suggestions for this bad boy.

OH NO! Guzzi fever?! Why didn't anyone warn me about this before I took that test ride?!?
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.
Here is some fun:

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!
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.

Thanks, but Mikes not biting

Just imagine how impressed his friends would be when they hear Andrea say:
"Mike's riding Sophia on Friday night"
OR
"Sometimes Mike and I ride Sophia together...."
OR
"He used to REALLY like Sophia, but then she got the aftermarket cans, now it's pure lust..."
Meanwhile Andrea is thinking:
And in the same conversation, Mike's friends are thinking:
It would never get old
