that guy should be wearing flip flops.

Did I saw it good? Some police (Carabinieri) was looking and hearing the guy on the Moto Guzzi saying nothing.

What respect does to a person...

At first I thought that sounds like a lion or tiger snarling but then, what a beautiful sound

How real men start their Guzzi

How real men start their Guzzi

At 62.5 cc displacement per cylinder, far easier to "hand start" the V8 than overcome the compression of 532 cc per cylinder of the V11.

Maybe that is the next big challenge

 

There must be a method, over tighten one valve clearance, roll back onto compression, retard ignition with Myecu, couple of brawny lads either side applying spin with no fear, 'et voila!!!' the Guzzi rumble.

Over on this side o' the pond, we have an entire "subculture" of Motor Davidson Harley Cycle types in various stages of chronic arrested development, who like to advertize that their ol' ladies (to use that term in it's loosest possible meaning) can "suck start" their Big Twins.

 

And wot a great wallopping powerful vacuum that must be. . . Kinda makes you double over a little just to think about it, dunnit?

I have a bit of a dilemma here ratchethack - curiosity makes me want to know more, but I really don't think I should.

 

A bit like ordering the Mega Donner Kebab with extra chilli sauce after a few beers, delicious till half way through, then progressively worse until you really regret eating the damn thing the following morning.

 

Think I'll leave the hand starting of the Guzzi to others
