Ian Astbury on a Guzzi

Another old pic from the album, this is '91... a year of listening to too much Cult and not earning enough for a big twin Harley, hence this big ol' lump of Italian muscle. Even though it was a stand-in, it was a lovely, capable bike, and I used it every day to commute to work. I liked the linked brake system and the way the transverse v-twin made the bike shake in the opposite way to a Harley. It sparked a love of Guzzis (though I haven't owned one since).

Note that I stripped off the T3 California's screen and the big seat, replacing it with a rare police solo seat. I had the right idea...
