p6x tells me the book is in both Italian and English in the same printing. I see in the description, now: "italiane e inglese (Multilingue)". Apparently, it not a typical sequence of models, but more focused on the history and people of Moto Guzzi. I am ordering my copy for "the library." FWIW, I really have been enjoying Falloon's new book, in spite of some of the disappointments. I'm pretty bad about spending most of my time just looking at the pictures. Something I picked up from certain periodicals that others claimed they got "for the articles" . . .

Uhhh $20 plus shipping ? IDK how much I paid

Yes Chuck that's a good example as well. Old race engines are generally RPM limited as well when the cases get to a certain age and it becomes impossible to find replacements. It's just the nature of the material. doesn't affect most people because old engines are generally used on old road bikes and aren't under enough stress to cause an issue so they are still over engineered for the application. Start hammering them in classic and post classic racing and things are a bit different. Ciao

I've posted a version of this before but so what .. Steve , Eric, and Derick great people great song

I think Little Feat was the best band ever. I was reading the bio on those guys ("Willin") and they were pretty volatile. The band was about to throw in the towel before they recorded "Waiting for Columbus", the best Live album of all time. They had the Tower of Power and Mick Taylor. Stories of drug fueled all nighters, playing mad at each other on stage, Richie throwing his drumsticks at Lowell when he was singing. Lowell mixed the record, the band was ready to quit and they listed to the first song, "Playing in the Band" and wow. WOW. So after reading that, here is Mick Taylor + Little Feat. "Apolitical Blues" Lowell's next gig was producing The Dead's "Shakedown Street". After an all night coke binge with Mickey Hart, Lowell said his drum solo was crap and Mickey beat him good. Lowell left, the album was recorded but not quite finished. Great story.
