Is there a pt. 2? Doesn't look like it. To anyone reading this it will just confirm all the old prejudices about Moto Guzzi. I recognise the Friday bike quip, the chrome story. I understand the lack of interest at the dealer. I don't recall a snipe at the electrics but I could have missed it. But I have a Cali 1100 from back in mid 90s. It has lived outside for 6 years with minimal maintenance, has always started on what looks suspiciously like the original battery, the chrome is all intact and the heavy old beast is a superb bike. It takes strength and determination to flick it through corners but it will cruise all day at motorway speeds sounding just like the over-grown lawnmower that it is. My point is. Condemn a dealer or a factory, but the bike is a Guzzi and special with it. Marmite to many.
