    What a labour of love. Fantastic renovation, looks amazing. Every Guzzi owner needs a Carlo in their life.

    LOL, you gotta love the guys that can just look at or listen to an engine running and they're like "AHA! I know what it is!"
    I had a mechanic who had an old Volvo P1800 3 bays away from him, and he said to me, "hold on" then he yelled over to his guy, "Hey, check the #3 spark plug, I bet it's fouled" ... sure enough, he could HEAR that that one cylinder was running rich, LOL.

    Great series!! Thanks for the info on Carlo. I live up in the Caledon area so having a good MG resource is awesome. Definitely one downside to this bike (V7 Special) is the challenge of getting accessories and other parts. The bike is wonderful though so well worth it in the end.
    Cheers

      Glad to hear, thanks a ton. It took a while to get through these videos because of some personal stuff... had to say goodbye to my dog of 15 years... Trying to get back in the saddle again and go back to put out videos more regularly. Stay tuned, and thank you for the encouragement :)

      Thanks Pat. So far I think that Moto-K seat cover is going to hold up just fine. Although, one day, maybe during the winter, I'll buy the right staples for my staple gun and add a few more in there.

      @@Confedyank beware of abysmal resale values on cf moto bikes. At least that's the case here anyway. People are pricing at 40% loses vs what they paid for their bikes the year before and still can't find buyers. That being said, if you want to go that route, wait for a used one and you'll save thousands and thousands! 💸👉🏻🚽

    I hear some people say the Guzzi V7 is not smooth at low speed, like when you try to just give a little bit of throttle it will kick. Do you get this with yours?

      @YouMotorcycle  28 дней назад +1

      @@David_loves_foods if you want smoothness you don't get a Guzzi. Guzzi is brash and raw. That's how it's meant to be. If you want something buttery smooth get an Asian bike like the Interceptor or the made in Thailand Triumph Bonneville
