supertwin1 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 If the powers that be know what's good for us then why is the world so f__cked up? Ever seen a country run by a "common man", not likely. The president of our country has never even had the miserable experience of applying for a job, even when he was a teenager(talk about silver spoon!)

Steve G. Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 There's no kidding about it Supertwin. Both of your candidates for your upcoming election are truly idiots! If I didn't live in Canada with our unruly bunch of "tax till you die" socialists, I would say you guys in the 50 states should be mighty red faced about the whole thing! Ciao, Steve G.

supertwin1 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Hey Jim-did you read the technical topics where it is stated that M-G has only a few 4 valve motors and possibly will not be able to release the 50 it intended to build. If it's true Guiseppe stated that a cardan shaft/air cooled engine is not competetive in racing then homologation for racing purposes is likely not to happen. I hope for you this is not the case.

callison Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Steve G ... @#!#$# you.. At least our leaders can protect our country... and yours.supertwin1 The good thing about a really big buraucracy, be it a democracy, monarchy or a totalitarian regime, is that sheer iniertia will allow it to function for extended periods of time - even with a drooling, gibbering, maniacal idiot in charge. Unfortunately, it happens far too frequently. Can we get back to bikes now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 M-G has only a few 4 valve motors and possibly will not be able to release the 50 it intended to build I hear ya, SuperTwin! That has been burning in the back of my brain for awhile. I may have to see if that Daytona is still on ebay or find a G&B dealer. Know any good ones?

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Careful Callison. That quote was from Davidb, not Supertwin. Watch who you are slagging or praising. We may have to send one of our subs after you. On that note, my condolences to the family of Lt. Saunders, who lost his life fighting a fire aboard one of our subs. I have the greatest respect and praise for our military who do so much with so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 The last engine 4v has rolled from the factory in Mandello de Lario. Moto Guzzi has no possibility to realize another engine with 4v. That’s meaning NO MGS- 01 in the future with 4v engine. That’s the same destiny for the Griso.

Paul Minnaert Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Antonio, I know don't how your german is, but this is the full text, do you have other info? The cheapest thing for colannio, is to wait until aprilia group breaks down, and buy the parts they want cheap, no depts anymore to takeover. Die besten Wünsche für Weihnachten und das neue Jahr So lautet der Brief welche die Angestellten der Guzziwerk in Mandello erhalten haben. Alle zu Hause mit Arbeitslosenunterstützung vom 2. November 04 bis 31. Januar 05. Keine Bestellungen, kein Geld, kein Montagematerial, läuft nichts mehr. Die Einführung der Breva 1100 wird wahrscheinlich auf Herbst 05 verschoben und der Griso Winter 06, wenn überhaupt noch eine Einführung gibt. Problematik der Übernahme durch Piaggio: Die kleinen involvierten Banken wehren sich dagegen. Diese Banken sind in der Region angesiedelt und haben Angst dass Moto Guzzi wieder wie bei der letzte Übernahme darunter leiden wird. Sie würden eine Übernahme durch Ducati vorziehen in der Meinung dass für Guzzi die sichere Variante wäre. Abgesehen davon gehören diese kleineren Banken zu den grösseren Aktionären der Ducati-Holding. Colannino und Piaggio müssten für die Übernahme ihre Offerte an den Banken bereits erhöhen. Möglich dass die kleineren Banken auch mehr wollen um sich umstimmen zu lassen. Viel mehr kann Piaggio nicht gewähren, will sie nicht selbst in finanziellen Problemen rein manövrieren. Eine Bestätigung dass bei Piaggio kein Interesse mehr am Kauf der Apriliagruppe vorhanden wäre, ist nicht da, aber ich könnte mich vorstellen dass es ein taktischer Zug von Colannino ist um zu sagen: "Wir haben die Schnauze voll, entweder schliessen wir ab oder ihr könnt alles behalten, ich verhandle nicht mehr." Dies würde auch erklären warum die Verhandlungen so lange gehen und nicht zum Abschluss kommen. Ciao Angelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
