I have had a V11 mandello 6 months, no end to problems from electrical to strange tyre wear front and back to out of the blue the handlebars touching the tank on the left hand side! No reason for this happening, the guzzi is stored in a garage and is never left anywere for it to be knocked over. The electrical problems have been a real head wrecker, flat battery next morning or not enough to turn starter, tacho doing its own thing maybe monitoring earthquake ? no idicators then indicators? engine starts cutting out with a full tank on a motorway then gets over it then does it again whilst im over takeing legaly ! I realy got the hump with my beloved after that. But we made up! We were palls again up untill the sun came out today and the bitch does not want to come out! grovelin did not work neither did a few well aimed f@*k you f*@ing c%*t . . . . we are going to a work on things though, thats love 4 U ; ) I do love my guzzi, iv had lots of bikes like most people i know and many of people i know who dont have a guzzi would like the idea of a luverly big old twin. They see your guzzi and they glaze over! then they tell you" i would love a guzzi but !!!"and most wont even alow the thought or "H.D" word to be spoken in there presence, should some other say it "H.D" they get laughed at and mostly they leave soon after. There are problems with most bikes of all origins as we all know some more then others ahh hmm just clearing my throat. i wouldnt say thats that guzzis for life but if it was you wouldnt here me complaining , there is something i think about a guzzi that feels long term not like other bikes i have had, i love my V11 despite the problems. I believe once you own a guzzi and dont bring it back after a week or 2 you become a convert. Is that the time?!? Must dash... Cheers Dave S.W UK
