Former V7 owner here. With the Guzzi I never trusted it to not fall apart. And that’s basically what it did for 2 years before I got rid of it. Just little things. I blew the seal on the rear hub and lost a lot of gear oil on the highway. The alternator cover leaked oil (very slowly). I had to replace the rear brake…

Pro-tip: There is a VooDoo just on the other side (the eastside) of the river on Burnside where you’re far less likely to run into long lines.

No... you’re mistaken. There is a big difference between the ramblings of Tolkien & Rowling.
