Dunno 68C. The ones I've worked for have run the whole gamut from angels to a***holes....The worst I've had the misfortune to work for was an ex North Sea Pom! Surrounded himself with 'yes' men and didn't take too kindly to blow-ins from other places. And that was in China!!! As for stealing my thread? Don't think for one minute that you did. I just voiced an opinion and I'm glad that so many thought it was of interest to pick it up and run with it. Cheers.

G'day chaps & chapesses. Warren here. I'm a newbie to the V11 forum, but have what I think is a relevant query. Is it just me, or is Piaggio trying to make the current crop of Moto Guzzi sports bikes into a less than attractive product? To my eyes, the Daytona RS/Sport 1100i and the successive V11 variations are MUCH better looking than the models that followed. This is not just the whinge of an old fart stuck in the (recent) past, but the (somewhat subjective) observation of the aforementioned old fart. The current models seem to be not so much designed, as assembled from a box of spares. I do NOT lump the Griso in with the rest. It is to me a successful design.........Comments please? By the way, I ride a '97 Daytona RS, an '02 Triumph Daytona 955i and am resurrecting a '75 Laverda 3C. And I'm 67 years of age. Or about the total age of the three bikes. And no, I'm not flush with money. I spend a lot of it on Moto Guzzi and Triumph spares and servicing!!!
