FYI: You're not limited to a single comment, so if you have multiple funny stories, do share.

yes. tho i no longer have one-I sold the Spada 2, 2 years ago and the Cali T3 20 years back, but I still love Guzzis.
I used to go to HD dealerships and say, "look, a proper V twin".

My father, for the longest time, called the Monster "the Guzzi" until I took him for a ride.
Mostly funny as my ex-brother-in-law had one in the '90s.

I overheard this chap talking to his friend while looking at my bike, telling him that the engine was originally in a tractor.

I said "coolest tractors on the planet" to Dave at MotoInternational a few months ago and he giggled and said he was stealing that expression.
