well.. I'm all teary-eyed now. My first guzzi sighting was a V7 Sport in
a '73 issue of Cycle World (or maybe Motorcyclist?). Anyway, the summer
of '74, in San Diego, I went to a Guzzi dealer to buy one (I think in El
Cajon?).. and was crushed when told they were no longer available...I
managed to recover a bit when I looked at a beautiful, brand spanking
new, "Interceptor" (850-T). $2495 later, she was in the back of my van.
My prior bike being a 550 Honda... you can imagine my delight opening
this baby up on the 805 on-ramp.. a nicely banked, up-hill sweeper.. at
ungodly speed (stupid 19 year-old). She's long gone, of course.. but
still got the memories.
