I think it is awesome, but that is the worlds most impractical tankbag!

Been looking at various pictures of this bike for years, thanks for the write-up & link. I think his looks cooler than the shiny one for MacGregor, but like the first guy, I love rats.

Heavily modified, Part’s Guzzi nonetheless retains the flavor of a classic Tonti-framed speedster. I don’t know what happened to the negative comments posted here earlier, but it is clear many regard the Guzzi twin as an anachronism; without a ‘home’ in the traditional motorcycling sense. For those who own and ride Guzzi (very often out when you’re nestled warm in you bed, or strapped safely in four-wheeled comfort) the enjoyment comes from a stream of rugged, thoughtful engineering that comes together to provide years of enjoyment. Notoriously frugal, many Guzzi owners enjoy the option of wrenching at home.

Ben’s a good sort; full of fun and creativity. His kit is popular because the most important element of motorcycling -fun- screams through it all. Long may he, and the Zagato roll!

Cheers,

Nolan Woodbury

*shrug* I’ve always loved this bike. Then again, I love beaters and rats of all stripes. It makes sense to me, and that big-ass tankbag makes it even more beautifully-absurd.
