One of the stops on the garage tour had these. Not sure what the first one was. He said the name and it was not familiar to me. the other is a custom.



 I think it's a Lilac, doesn't look like any Guzzi I've ever seen

As awesome at that is, the sad thing is it can never be put together.




I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

What would be cool is to have his signature on the assembled bike as well as the box it came in.

Is he still living?

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.
