I was going to get some kind of vanity plate, but when the lady at the tag place took that one out, I'm like "That'll do just fine!".
"0070D"
Bike's currently out on loan to a buddy whose forks I'm rebuilding, but I've been laid up with a bit of illness and minor surgery, so I felt bad for hanging his bike up in all this shitty weather. I gave him the Guzzi 'til I'm done. I'm on the mend, so I'll finish his bike up in the next couple of days.

Looking good, 007!
That's appropriate! Shaken, not stirred on a Guzzi!

Chris, hope you mend quickly, a little more snow is falling, but it really is Spring down here! Get better so you can ride!! BTW, Good beer may not be the cure, but it will help ease the pain
I'll have a couple for you.
Be safe!

I took the Guzzi out twisty hunting for a little while this morning before becoming a hermit again for the rest of the day doing busy work around the house and garage.
WOW, did I have fun. I found some limits, I found some trust, I found some sweet RPM ranges, I found the rev limiter and bounce-shifted a few gears, I found some suspension weaknesses and work-arounds (and decided on what to upgrade next!)...
I would say I am now fully in tune with bike and it is just.... well... wow, I really like this bike!
