I have had relatively few bikes - five including my original Kawasaki KH125, but excluding my BSA Starfire that I never heard run :( - that I have to say they all put smiles on my face but the Moto Guzzi I have now brings a huge smile to my face and it is so relaxing to ride. The BMW R80 sat alongside it in the garage got me back onto two wheels but it is not so relaxing to ride, but I still smile when I ride it.

Early morning towards the end of the Lands End Trial.
Somewhere near Perranporth, about 8 or 10 hours overnight from west London by way of lots of off-road tracks.
My Greeves 'bitsa', mainly Greeves Scottish, with silver-soldered home-made exhaust and plasticine-waterproofed electrics, was always brilliant fun.

Great picture, looks like Blue Hills one of the last sections of the Land's End. Ridden it many times but not on my Greeves - yet.

I can confirm that the pint in the hotel bar after the finish does indeed go down very well beer

The bike (H1) had the potential to be exceedingly fast. It could easily lift the front wheel with a simple twist of the wrist. I experienced this and the speed a few times. Great potential for speed but brakes did not have the potential to stop the bike. A very light frame flexed under cornering load. Both caused me to ride within a safety envelope. Still loved the bike - the design and the two stroke sound and power.
