    One sexy, err, Guzzi?

    At least that's where I assume the motor comes from. Some crazy manufacturing going on there.

    I like it, but I don't, if you get my drift. Would need to see it in the flesh (ha yeah right) to understand what's really going on around the bikes mid section.

    I'd sure ride it.

    And while I'm all for metaphors and similes - like a bull at a gate - but I'm a bit over vehicles with DNA.

    It's not consistent with itself.

    The seat looks like it's off a different design.

    Otherwise, it's kind of cool.

    Ish.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    I think you need to lube it before use.



    (Nice bike, though - if it could be made legal for the road with screwing it up too much).

    A lot of unusual influences there. Was built by a 20 year old American guy.
