Default Tim - Moto Guzzi Review

Don't know if you've seen this review of the ugliest motorcycle Moto Guzzi (or maybe anyone) ever
made:

Default Tim - Moto Guzzi Review

I've been watching that bike and thinking "is that the best they can do?" Trying to get into the sport road king market and failing. But even st 20+ thousand bucks, somebody will buy it. The thing is, a beautiful, luxurious Yamaha Royal Star, can be had for half. And quality used ones for less than a third.

Unless someone just hands me one, you probably won't be seeing that redwing thing in my future.

If someone handed me one, I'd ride it to southern Illinois and hand it to you to put with the rest
of your bike collection! Maybe I'd keep the mirrors in case I broke one of Millie's.

Those mirrors look like they might fit all right.

Maybe the would fit. Mine screw into their own receptivity on the handlebars. Btw, that reminds me. The plastic ball on one is starting to crack and I need to see about getting another. The thing won't stay firm in adjustment

Epoxy? Might keep it from wiggling. I went to aftermarket mirrors. Guzzi mirrors just never seemed
to work very well for me. Although I'll have to admit the aftermarket ones don't last long either.
The adjustment locking screw threads have stripped in both of mine. Had to rethread and put bigger
bolts in there to hold them tight.
