Andy having owned breathed and lived for Moto guzzis for many years of my biking life - your on the wrong tack, you will never solve the build sequence or the parameters of design and getting info to specific models - its just fluid and changable on the day so to speak.

If on Monday Morning Luigi has had a skinful of wine last night and was rejected by his missus you get a bit of a lash up from whatever parts bins lying around, that is until Mario comes along and bends his ear a bit and together they try to put Luigi's build back on track by then Deangelo has popped along he happens to have some 1200 sport indicators in his hand - so they go on while Luigi tells Deanglo about his troubles with his wife, Deanglo breaks open a cask of vino liqorisio and they drown there sorrows with that while discussing the women, the world etc but all the time bolting various bits in - Oh there are no number plate hangerss left in the box - - It'sa no problemo says Deangalo swiftly liberating one from the stelvio parts bin -Thisa will go (well by quickly redrilling some holes in the mudguard) so onto the bike it goes this goes on until its finished - it then passes to the dark cupboard where the souls are kept, one is swiftly snatched out the cupboard and ensconsed into the bikes tank - It's a all a right now - onto Quality assurance guy - he does not recognise the bike model but its got a some wheels and soma handleybars and it goes Vrooom Vroom so therefore it'sa OK, maybe must be new model !! so he stamps it V7 1111 and thus you have the new progression of the Guzzi.

Wonderful different but how on earth can you get info - you can't cos what comes out the office and off the drawing board never made it to the end of the prodution line.

Tchus jake.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
