When the Moto Guzzi engineer decided to fit the brake distributor next to the back wheel he was thinking about how good he looked in his silk shirt, whether his hair was optimally styled and casting a glance across to the secretary. The British winter was nowhere in his mind at all.

Really getting there now. Linked definitely the right way to go. I’ve never had a problem jumping from Japanese bikes to the Guzz.

And I wonder, why would the British winter be in the head of an Italian engineer?
Is riding a LeMans in winter really a concern?

It’s interesting as this part doesn’t exist on smaller Guzzis, they just have a double Y banjo outlet on the back of the MC.
